The arts of living of a region
The landscapes are breathtaking, and the climate attractive, despite its constraints and contrasts. Its culture is worth the detour, but, according to the author, a former British advertising executive, the attraction of Provence lies in its lifestyle. The habitat, the spatial planning, the conviviality, the gastronomy, the daily life offer a way of existence close to the personal philosophy, with its consistencies and its oddities, all presenting a certain charm. The vegetation and the environment are also treated, seemingly out of the ordinary.
This choice of development may surprise, even disconcert, but complements the choices traditionally made to describe this territory. It carries a certain coherence, and its subjectivity is justified, in the logic of this “love dictionary”. The result does not lack truculence and humor; In its own way, it makes you want to rediscover this region from this angle and to cross paths with the more classic vision of tourist, literary, or even ‘academic’ routes. So let us be guided.
