Mayle Selling up in Provence

Peter Mayle is moving on again. After his popular "A Year in Provence" book, he was besieged by "fans" at his farmhouse in Menerbes. After selling his property he moved to New York but later returned to Provence.

British writer Peter Mayle, whose book ‘A Year in Provence’ popularised the region, is selling his second house.

His best-selling tales of village life in Provence helped send property prices through the roof in the south of France, Now, writer Peter Mayle is selling his Provençal home – for €6 million.

So what is he selling now? He now owns an 18th-century house on the outskirts of the village of Lourmarin, said to be one of the most beautiful villages in France and the burial place of the French writer Albert Camus who spent his Nobel Prize money on a farmhouse there in 1958.
