| Plot Summary of Toujours Provence |
|---|
"The sequel to A Year In Provence. This account of the life of an ex-pat Englishman and his wife in rural Provence doesn't really have a narrative as such, rather being a series of chapters about the author's experiences of life in France. Subjects include: going native, tracking down a rumour about singing toads, what it's like to be a minor celebrity, wine tasting, a glorious birthday picnic, wonderful meals and great restaurants, and what it's like to live a tourist area. "
