Provence

Comprising the south east of the French mainland, this book also looks at Aix-en-Provence and the wild and beautiful country north of Aix. It is here in the Luberon, on the Vaucluse plateau and amongst the chaotically beautiful landscapes of Les Alpilles, that Margaret Loxton observed and painted the peasant famers and their families - people with their own fierce and proud character, set apart from the rest of France by their use of language and their unqiue cuisine.
