In this charming travelogue, Hare recounts his adventures during a winter spent in the picturesque town of Mentone, on the Mediterranean coast. With his trademark wit and erudition, Hare describes the people, places, and customs of this sunny region, and shares his musings on everything from the benefits of sea-bathing to the art of conversation. This book is a delightful read for armchair travelers and Francophiles alike.
