A warm and unhurried work of travel writing, To Meet The Spring: A Casual Journey Through Languedoc, Provence And The Riviera chronicles Basil Collier's leisurely passage through the sun-drenched landscapes of southern France, tracing a route that winds through medieval villages, vineyards, and the glittering coastline of the Riviera. Written with the ease and charm of a seasoned traveller, Collier presents the history, culture, and character of each region with an eye for the telling detail — from the ancient Roman ruins of Languedoc to the lavender-scented hills of Provence. The tone is conversational and gently witty, inviting readers to experience the journey as companions rather than observers, absorbing the rhythms of local life alongside the author. Rich with personal reflection and historical context, the narrative illustrates how the south of France rewards the unhurried traveller who pauses long enough to let the landscape and its people speak.
