Following in the footsteps of writer Peter Mayle Bumpus is on a quest to find the real Proven��e. On three separate excursions--from Nice to N��mes Moustiers to Marseilles and San Tropez to San Remy--and while sailing along the C��te d'Azur she invites you to join her in uncovering the mysteries of Proven��e. Are they hidden within their myths festivals or traditions? Is it possible they're veiled in the sheer beauty of the land and sea? Could they be concealed in Roman arenas in Arles Orange or Glanum? Or perhaps within the ancient methods of traditional cooking or winemaking? Maybe they are hidden in plain sight among the locals who open their hearts their bistros and homes to strangers. <p/>Yes you may find it in chefs while cooking in ancient kitchens in the smile of the shy barmaid who speaks no English in the giggle of the Pizza Wagon baby in the agreeable village baker or in the patient waiter and harbor master--but you will most especially experience it through friends who fling open their doors to share their families' recipes. Traveling alongside Bumpus that is where you'll discover the real Proven��e.
