Marjorie says that markets are a window into the soul of a place. In her new book, she offers a portal to the soul of Provence, which is famous for its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, flavorful foods and extraordinary wines. Markets of Provence is a guide that whisks readers away to thirty of the best markets in Provence, complete with detailed maps and essential insights for both first-time visitors and seasonal tourists.

In addition, the book profiles local vendors, answers questions about buying, browsing and tasting etiquette, recommends local restaurants, and offers essential French phrases for navigating the markets.

Peter Mayle, author of A Year in Provence, calls Markets of Provence, Thorough, accurate and mouth-watering, and Essential reading for all market-hoppers. Provence is a place of extraordinary beauty and bounty and its markets have been the beating heart of Provencal since the Middle Ages. We hope youll join for this wonderful bridge into summer.
