When Californians, Yvone Lenard and her husband began to fantasize wistfully about owning a home in Provence, they made a hasty gamble. Purchasing a sixteenth-century wreck, they dubiously listened to the agent's promise to completely renovate the house within a year. When they returned to the picturesque hilltop village twelve months later, their rubble had been transformed into a dream house – fully furnished and beautifully renovated. To top it off, Lenard was immediately greeted by a prince who stopped in to welcome his new neighbors.

After this enchanting beginning. Lenard draws on her unique insight into the subtleties of her native culture to tell the story of her charming reunion with France, capturing the sights, flavors, and faces of Provence in ways no outsider could. With verve and wit, she relates tales of the close-knit community in which she soon becomes a fixture, of her travels in the region, and of visits from American friends who find unexpected romance and magic in Provence. Incorporating succulent recipes, along with tips for entertaining in Provencal style, The Magic of Provence is a delight for all the senses – and a journey to bliss.
