Provence so dear to Jean Giono

Jean Giono is, along with Marcel Pagnol, the author who has contributed the most to the influence of Provence. Known for his book Le Hussard sur le toit (The Hussar on the Roof), which relates the adventures of a young colonel of the hussars in a Provence affected by a cholera epidemic. Regain, a work emblematic of the author’s relationship with the land of Provence, tells the story of the rebirth of a village victim of the rural exodus. A movie shot by another Provençal author, Marcel Pagnol, gave life to this book. Visit the authentic Provence of Giono, with its sun-drenched landscapes and picturesque villages.
