Book excerpt: A region steeped in fable and myth, Provence can accurately be called on the cultural crossroads of European history. A source of inspiration to artists, poets and troubadours it is also an enviable refuge for the wealthy and fashionable. Writer Nicholas Woodsworth married into a Provencal family and has lived in the region for decades. He lovingly and carefully notes every facet and detail of life in Provence and provides a refreshing antidote to the rose and romantic view of it being a perennial sunny destination for tourists.
