Product Description
Product Description
Love is something quite different in Provence, as Yvone Lenard discovers when she chaperones 50 red-blooded American college students for a year at California State University's study abroad program in Aix-en-Provence. Proclaiming themselves on their applications to the program to be "ambassadors of culture," their thoughts and senses turn to romance and sex upon arrival. As Resident Director of the program Lenard soon has her hands full, but her sense of humour prevails and she stays to form affectionate relationships with the students and a love affair with Provence. When not counselling her changes, Lenard finds a "safe" escort in the charming and eccentric Bill Hope, an American expatriate with whom she probes ancient villages and ruins and dines at sunset on the terraces of elegant restaurants. The ten stories in this collection are set in some of the region's most romantic locales. Each story concludes with advice on where to go to experience romance and a menu for a dinner for two with simple recipes to recreate the sensual flavours of Provence.

Remarkable in every way!, 5 Dec 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love in Provence: True Tales of Romance in Southern France (Hardcover)
From its style to its authentic-sounding anecdotes ranging from the picturesque to the emotionally charged, to its superb enthusiasm, all is just wonderful. Including recipes was a startlingly good idea. Love in Provence should be proposed as mandatory reading in universities and colleges, for these are times when more windows need to be opened onto the world.

Fun and lighthearted reading, 30 Aug 2001
By Deborah Palmer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love in Provence: True Tales of Romance in Southern France (Hardcover)
Yvone Lenard has done it again. Reading her books is like being in Provence with her. You can picture the lavender filled fields, and taste the delicious food. These stories are both amusing and touching. I loved it!
