If I could go anywhere on vacation, I would go to the south of France. I’m a longtime fan of Peter Mayle’s books on his experiences in Provence, and his descriptions of the people, the place, and most especially the food make the area sound worthy of a long-term visit. I would like to stay in an old stone farmhouse and walk through olive groves and fields of lavender. I’m also a horselover, so I would like to see the grey and white horses of the Camargue. I would like to visit in both the summer and the winter to experience the various seasons of the area.
