When bestselling photographer Rachael Hale McKenna embarked on a new life in France, it was inevitable that she would turn her talents to capturing the beauty of the world around her. Evoking a gentle change of pace, Rachael's imagery immerses us in French daily life: the scenery and unique light that inspired a generation of artists; the ancient villages and fortified towns; the beaches of the glittering Cote d'Azur that draw crowds of tourists; the taste of fresh Mediterranean-inspired cuisine that bursts like summer in the mouth, washed down with a pale and blushing rose; a leisurely game of boules enjoyed over a glass of pastis in the cool of a summer evening. Even the ever-present cats and dogs exude a languid Provencal outlook on the world. Illuminated with text by Peter Mayle, author of the bestselling A Year in Provence and A Good Year, For the Love of Provence is at heart a joie de vivre (a joyous celebration) of this historic province of southeastern France that has captivated artists, writers, lovers, and travelers for generations.

Photographer and bestselling author Rachael Hale McKenna is one of the world's most popular and successful photographers. Her endearing images have been published on greeting cards, calendars, posters, and stationery around the world, and her books have sold over three million copies in twenty languages. Rachael is the author of a number of bestselling books including 101 Salivations: For the Love of Dogs; 101 Cataclysms: For the Love of Cats; Smitten: A Kitten's Guide to Happiness; and more. Rachael lived in the south of France with her husband and daughter for five years, before returning to her native New Zealand. Peter Mayle is a British author famous for his series of books detailing life in Provence. His 1989 book A Year in Provence, chronicling a year in his life as a British expatriate in Menerbes, became an international bestseller. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages, and in 2002 the French government made him a Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honor) for cooperation et francophonie. Peter lives in Lourmarin, in Provence.
