- in
- uncovering
- the
- mysteries
- of
- Provençe.
- Are
- they
- hidden
- within
- their
- myths,
- festivals,
- or
- traditions?
- Is
- it
- possible
- they’re
- veiled
- in
- the
- sheer
- beauty
- of
- the
- land
- and
- sea?
- Could
- they
- be
- concealed
- in
- Roman
- arenas
- in
- Arles,
- Orange,
- or
- Glanum?
- Or,
- perhaps,
- within
- the
- ancient
- methods
- of
- traditional
- cooking
- or
- winemaking?
- Maybe
- they
- are
- hidden
- in
- plain
- sight
- among
- the
- locals
- who
- open
- their
- hearts,
- their
- bistros,
- and
- homes
- to
- strangers.Yes,
- you
- may
- find
- it
- in
- chefs
- while
- cooking
- in
- ancient
- kitchens,
- in
- the
- smile
- of
- the
- shy
- barmaid
- who
- speaks
- no
- English,
- in
- the
- giggle
- of
- the
- Pizza
- Wagon
- baby,
- in
- the
- agreeable
- village
- baker,
- or
- in
- the
- patient
- waiter
- and
- harbor
- master—but
- you
- will
- most
- especially
- experience
- it
- through
- friends
- who
- fling
- open
- their
- doors
- to
- share
- their
- families’
- recipes.
- Traveling
- alongside
- Bumpus,
- that
- is
- where
- you’ll
- discover
- the
- real Provençe.
