English Books in Provence Libraries

Do you, your children, and teenagers love to read? Are you worried about running out of books to read together while on vacation in Provence? Try the village library!

Even the smallest villages seem to have a library and anyone can tell you where to find it: S'il vous plait, ou est la bibliotheque? (ooo eh lah bib-lee-oh-tech)

And because many of the books have been donated, you are likely to find at least a few that are written in English! AND, because librarians are such wonderful people, they are likely to let a resident tourist borrow a book or two.

I can tell you that there are such libraries in the villages of Cadenet, La Tour d'Aigues, and Grambois. I will be watching for others to tell you about.

One last note, you might offer them the books you have read and do not wish to carry home in your suitcase!
