The Ste. Marguerite des Pins of my story does not exist: it is a composite of a number of small towns and villages I have visited over the years in Provence. But I hope it captures the atmosphere of this truly special region, its colours and its perfumes, its architecture and its staggeringly beautiful views of forests, olive groves and vineyards. If you visit the area yourself, you will not be able to identify the street or café, but still I hope this story will help to make you feel as if you know it.
