Bonne Vie in Provence

A Travel Guide for the Soul

Georgie Grossman

Bonne Vie in Provence is a multi-generational tale that follows the lives of those touched by a magical French villa, from its original owners' secret acts of WWII resistance to the modern-day retirees and travelers who find healing and a "second act" within its walls.

An irresistible blend of memoir, fiction, and armchair travel.

Bonne Vie in Provence is the kind of story that makes readers dream of sun-warmed stone walls, lavender fields, and fresh baguettes from the village boulangerie.

Written with warmth and lyrical charm, the book transports you straight into a forgotten villa brimming with history and heart. From the moment an inquisitive cat narrates the chaos of new arrivals, the storytelling sparkles with personality.

Wendy and Dave’s leap into French village life is equal parts humorous and inspiring, while Lee and Josh bring design flair, culinary passion, and emotional resonance. The inclusion of local voices—like Pomme, whose life has been intertwined with the land since childhood—deepens the novel’s authenticity and soulfulness.

What truly sets the book apart is the voice of Bonne Vie itself, transforming the villa into a living character whose “magic” quietly weaves every storyline together.

Perfect for lovers of A Year in Provence, stories of reinvention, or anyone who believes that certain places carry a heartbeat, Bonne Vie in Provence is uplifting, sensory, and unforgettable. It’s a book that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover what matters most.
