The heroes of this book did what most of us only dream of: they bought an old farmhouse in Provence and started a new life in it. The first year in the Luberon, which started with a real Provencal lunch, contained many more gastronomic joys, unexpected discoveries and sometimes very funny adventures. They also had to face difficult trials, from trying to master an incomprehensible local dialect to a year-long renovation. In addition, they learned to play boules, visited goat races and learned the joys of living in the southernmost French province.
