“Some spots are the cradle of genius. Provence is one.” Lawrence Durrell.
The owners of Bastide Les Amis have produced a book Footsteps which is available as a paperback or downloadable as an e-book through Amazon.
You may be wondering why is there yet another book or e-reader on Provence! How can there be anything more to say? Surely, countless coffee table books and thousands of websites have covered absolutely everything?
We like to believe not. And, we say this from a position of personal experience. We have travelled to the Luberon for the past fifteen years and, for the past ten years, we have developed and now run a self-catering business in one of the finest corners of what we like to call Provençal Paradise – the Luberon. As part of our welcome kit, there is a Guest Information Book for our guests to use as a guide to what’s on, where to go, where to shop, etc. There has been such a great reaction to this very practical guide which is a mixture of information, history and local knowledge that the logical extension has been to make this available in a longer form – as a book; an iPad application or to be downloaded on to any other e-reader.
The contents are dynamic. However sleepy as it looks, we find that Provence moves forward continually and the information changes with it. Your feedback is also most welcome, particularly where we have missed something or you have found an easier and better way of finding your way to a particular sight.
The Book covers the following topics:
The book can be obtained either from ourselves (lovonne@orange.fr / simonburrow@orange.fr) or via www.amazon.com.
Latest: A second edition with updated information has now been released.
