In Troubadour-Land: A Ramble in Provence and Languedoc

"In Troubadour-Land: A Ramble in Provence and Languedoc" by S. Baring-Gould is a recounting of travels from a first-person perspective through the South of France. Departing from Italy due to dangerous conditions, the author is then commissioned by a publisher to write about the provinces of Provence and Languedoc. During his travels, the author meets unusual individuals. For example, an encounter with a German Jew allows him to illustrate the drinking habits of the local population. These interactions, combined with festive cultural observations such as unique Easter celebrations, create a lively and inviting exploration of the region’s history, culture, and landscape as seen through the author’s unique lens.
