Provence Sketchbook Fabrice Moireau

As the first Roman province outside of Italy, Provence has a wealth of architectural styles stretching back through the millennia. Provence Sketchbook takes the reader through this historically and culturally rich region, whose northern reaches are defined by the Donzere canyon and the howling mistral; delineated in the south by the Mediterranean and the arrival of the sirocco, with its whirling ochre clouds. To the east, Provence comes up to the foothills of the Alps, while the Rhone draws its western bounds. Fabrice Moireau's evocative watercolours skillfully illustrate the various landscapes within these borders, each endowed with exceptional natural beauty ranging from the ascetic to the fecund. Accompanying the watercolours are illuminating text and commentary by John Burdett and Philippe Testard-Vaillant, bringing to life a variety of scenes from this much-beloved part of France.
