Fisher's Provence is an essay and photo book that combines the words of the great food writer with images from photojournalist Aileen Ah-Tye. Fisher's lyrical prose and scenes of everyday grace caught by Ah-Tye's lens will remind readers of the cultural gentility that is France. The project sprang from the photographer's desire to illustrate life in Provence as the writer experienced it. The effort will leave you refreshed and inspired."-- Christian Science Monitor Dewey Edition 23 Dewey Decimal 944.9/1 Synopsis The book highlights her strong sense of place - Fisher's Celtic eye for detail - with a comparison of Aix-en-Provence, a university town, the site of an international music festival and the former capital of Provence, and Marseille, the port town. Fisher's description of the sights and smells belonging to an Aix bakery shop window is her Platonic ideal of a bakery shop to be found anywhere in France, for example, with its "delicately layered" scents of "fresh eggs, fresh sweet butter, grated butter, vanilla beans, old kirsch and newly ground almonds." Then, there is her portrayal of the sounds of Aix's fountains mixed with the music of Mozart during the town's festival, leaving her bedazzled. She would return again and again to stroll the narrow streets of Aix with two young daughters who "seemed to grow like water-flowers under the greening buds of the plane trees." It is the quality of Fisher's writing that inspired photographer Aileen Ah-Tye to look for her Provence. In a letter to Fisher, Aileen would report back from Marseille: "The eels and the prickly rascasse were exotique to my San Francisco eyes, the smells as pungent as you can get, and . . . miracle of all miracles . . . the men and women on the docks were exactly as you described them." Thus, began a collaboration that illustrates Fisher's passion for life and all its sensual pleasures that nourish the soul., Enjoy M.F.K. Fisher's strong sense of place and deep love of Provence with this collection of rich, gorgeous photographs paired with some of Fisher's best-known essays. M.F.K.

Provencal clothing: Lace cap, a flat straw hat, with a black velvet choker with a cross attached, a provencal printed cotton scarf tied just so around ones shoulders, a white cotton lace chemise, with a floral printed over shirt, a cotton printed boutis skirt and apron, white cotton tights, black shoes, lace gloves to carry ana a straw basket. A straw lunch basket. To carry out to the fields to share a lunch under the olive trees, by the lavender fields, next to the vineyards... overlooking the sea on a summer day... need I say more, dang! Provence is romantic from their socks to their bows. Provencal towns with names such as: Bonnieux, Isle sur la Sorgue, Saint Remy, Aix en Provence, Lacoste, Gordes.... Often a vest was worn to protect and dress up the cotton chemise. A velvet ribbon added to show the waistline that was often hard to detect under the heavy boutis skirt. The flat straw hat was attached with a black velvet ribbon. Everything was hand made. Provencal fabric was made with natural dyes and printed with hand carved wooden blocks. They say the best sewn garments had twenty perfect same measured stitches in every inch. Underneath their straw hats the women wore fine cotton laced caps. As women wore the hair in a bun, a cap kept ones hair neat in place and also a way to show modest considering long hair was a sign of feminine beauty. Classic traditional provencal clothing from the 1800s. A wedding took place in the town of Aix en Provence, the guests wore traditional provencal clothing. I searched for the bride and groom, but unfortunately, I did not find them. Instead I found guests in rich provencal detailed costumes. Which is not a everyday, nor often seen way to dress for a wedding or otherwise. Provencal traditional men's clothing was far simpler than what women wore, but isn't that often the case? Provencal men's clothing back in the 1800s consist of heavy cotton pants, with a red sash for special events, a linen or cotton shirt either in white linen or a provencal printed shirt worn under a vest (often in white or black) with many buttons down the front. The vest had a pocket for the pocket watch, a straw hat with a black ribbon around the brim. Traditional Provencal antique costumes/clothing is not just about what they...

Hello, moi, c'est Gurty. Quand j'étais petite, je croyais que je m'appelais Arrête, mais c'est parce que je faisais tout le temps des bêtises et que mon humain me criait toujours arrête. Maintenant, je sais que je m'appelle Gurty, et tant mieux, c'est bien plus joli. Aujourd'hui, avec Gaspard, on a pris le train pour la Provence. Ah, ma maison de Provence ! Je pourrais la reconnaître les yeux fermés ! Le vestibule sentait toujours le fenouil, le salon toujours le thym, la cuisine toujours l'andouille et mon panier toujours le chien. Voilà ! Nous étions en vacances. L'aventure et la rigolade allaient pouvoir commencer.

The Group at Gordes Breakfast view Roussillon Demo painting poppies morning view from home base.... Ah, what can I say? Painting in Provence with a wonderful group of ladies, my wife, and a fantastic tour leader / organizer. You never know exactly how a workshop group will work out- it's an ever evolving and wonderfully unknown set of circumstance. How will the weather be, will everyone get along, will my demos go well, will it be well thought out and planned with painting in mind, and most importantly, will the attendees feel that their experience has met their expectations both in setting and instruction? With thanks to the weather aside, it is Provence in July after all, and the expertise and understanding of the spectacular Jackie Grandchamps of FrenchEscapade.com I believe I can say with confidence that this was one of the most enjoyable painting trips I have taken. The group dynamic was so upbeat and patient, the scenery spectacular, the food as mouthwateringly good as anything I've had the pleasure of tasting, and my lovely wife was there to experience it all and dig in and help at every turn. Our hotel....wonderful A workshop, no matter the setting, is a taxing adventure for the instructor. You give of yourself as much as possible and, for me at least, the most important part is that the students learn. It's not the Iain Show- it's about the adventurers that choose to make the journey with me. Our group was intimate, consisting of 9 students, my wife Noelle, and Jackie. I was able to spend time with everyone and watch them move from the first few hesitant marks through a beautiful transformation of both skill and confidence. I usually tell my students not to expect masterpieces during a workshop. The ideas and my specific approach to watercolor is usually something they are not accustomed to. In this workshop, however, the group jumped in with abandon and the results were fantastic. I think my wife said it best on the last evening. Dancing at night "I am so grateful to be surrounded by a group of such strong women all willing to go off to a far away place on their own, to experience new things without any fear, and embrace it all with such positive energy." I'm paraphrasing of course, but you get the idea. I am so proud to have been a part of this wonderful experience for each of you, to watch you make breakthroughs, to laugh over wine and the day's stories, in essence to become friends in such a short amount of time. You are fantastic, you are bold, and you can all paint! First morning's demos. One simple subject one a bit more difficult painted simultaneously. A very special thank you to my wife Noelle, for doing all that you did to help. I can't imagine doing a workshop like this without you and I think the gals would agree there. You are the best lil assistant anyone could ask for and then some. The view from our balcony. That's Ventoux in the background for you bike folks. The motto of the week will be my closing of this post before more photos and a bit of fun. Trust Jackie. I think for the next workshop I do with her in Spain next year (see info at the end of this post for more on that) I should have t-shirts made with that specific monicker. Jackie knows where she is intimately, and, more importantly, knows how to get you to the very popular locations at the right time of day so you can see them and then whisks you away to something even more charming and off the tourist trail leaving you space to paint at leisure without worry about jockeying for space with camera toting tourists. As any plein air painting workshop instructor will tell you, easel space for a group can be a serious concern, but Jackie somehow knows how and when to put you in a specific spot and have you back in the van just as the tour buses start pulling in. Her choice of where to base ourselves was perfect. Very few tourists and we had the place to ourselves. Those decisions became more apparent as we moved through the week. The restaurants, the painting locations, and how she interacts with a group is something an instructor rarely comes across and something I will not soon forget. Trust Jackie! Poppies demo So here are some pics.....enjoy! Remember you can join Michael Reardon and me in the Costa Brava next May with Jackie. We are limiting the group to 10 students per instructor instead of the normal 14 to keep that intimate feeling I was just describing. Go to FrenchEscapade.com to sign up. Small group demos...
