Sinopsis

A dream life filled with adventure, rosé, and sunshine in the South of France is paradise found … until a brush with the law threatens it all.

For American expats Gayle and Ralph, losing their beloved belle vie in a Provençal village is unimaginable. Determined to protect this Frenchified good life, Gayle embarks on a quest to define the essence of the allure: the secret to joie de vivre.

Unlocking the mystery leads to treks by boats, bikes, and boots across the country’s diverse regions. The intrepid couple explores striking landscapes, navigates the quirks of French culture, and indulges in delectable cuisine. From bustling markets in charming villages to blockbuster expos in the City of Light, each chapter is a feast for the senses, brimming with humor, warmth, and unforgettable characters.

These escapades ultimately reveal the elusive answer Gayle seeks: The Pleasure Principles. They’re uncomplicated but require practice—with a French twist.

More than a travel memoir, this enchanting book is a heartfelt and witty journey into the soul of Provence and beyond. A celebration of la belle vie, it’s a delightful read for anyone who loves French adventures, food, and finding joie de vivre moments.
