Intoxicating Southern France

PJ Adams, whose best seller Intoxicating Paris uncorks the magic in Paris, is back with another quirky journey. This time it's through Intoxicating Southern France: the French Riviera, Provence, Languedoc, Dordogne, and Bordeaux. This Provence & Languedoc Spotlight guide is two chapters taken from the complete Intoxicating Southern France. It's designed to meet the needs of readers who want to concentrate specifically on Provence and the Languedoc. Inside, you'll find stories and travel detail about Provence and the Languedoc with their lavender-scented hill towns like Gordes and Mnerbes, medieval enclaves such as Les-Baux-de-Provence and Carcassonne, culture centers Arles, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence, and the vast Camargue preserve where bulls and white horses run wild. You'll also explore the Languedoc's vast wine belt, wilderness parks and dramatic gorges, the Roman Pont du Gard and Nmes ruins, space age Toulouse, and crag-perched villages like Cordes-sur-Ciel. Above all, it's a guide to the delights of Provence and the Languedoc for those who journey here-or dream of doing so one day.
