Colors of Provence

Traditions, Recipes, and Home Decorations from the South of France
by Michel Biehn, photographs by Heinz Angermayr

The deep purple blue of lavender fields, the radiant yellow of sunflowers, the bright red of vine-ripened tomatoes, the earthy black of fresh truffles—the colors of Provence have captivated generations of artists, gardeners, and tourists. Now you can revel in a feast of photographs celebrating the vermillion walls of a small French village, the shades of green in a Provençal herb garden, the cerulean blue of lavender spindles. In and around these luscious photographs Michel Biehn weaves a net of words describing the culture and customs of Provence, with delicious recipes thrown in for good measure. The Colors of Provence is a book made for dreaming over, ideal for those who have seen Provence for themselves, and those who hope to one day.

An insider’s guide, updated for this new edition, includes the best addresses for fabrics, ceramics, antiques and embroidery, sources for gourmet delicacies, and recipes for Provençal dining experiences.
