A beguiling novel of romance, adventure, and tongue-in-cheek suspense set in the South of France, from the beloved, best-selling author of A Year in Provence.

Simon Shaw, a rumpled, fortyish English advertising executive, has decided to leave it all behind, and heads of to France to transform an abandoned police station in the Lubéron into a small but world-class hotel. On his side, Simon has a loyal majordomo and a French business partner who is as practical as she is ravishing. But he hasn't counted on the malignant local journalist--or on the mauvaise types who have chosen the neighboring village as the site of their latest bank robbery. Slyly funny and overflowing with sensuous descriptions of the good life, Hotel Pastis is the literacy equivalent of a four-star restaurant.©1994 Peter Mayle (P)2022 W. F.

J'adore les livres de Peter Mayle.
I always think that Mr Mayle began the trend of Franco/Anglais travel novels. But maybe he just triggered my love of this genre of novel.
Hotel Pastis is a great book. Lots of humour, plenty of typically French characters (shrugs and all, mais oui!) and a great storyline to boot!

Beautifully written, beautifully narrated.

Loved every minute. Peter Mayle takes you on an immersive adventure around the Luberon. It’s a light hearted caper that will transport the listener into the sun soaked hills of Provence setting them down onto a warm terrace with a glass or two of Rosé

A Rosé filled delight

Sure, it’s dated now but recalls a life I used to live ( and still live) and the dream of an escape come true, with a twist at the end.

One of my favourite all-time books

A fun story, beautifully narrated. A joy from start to finish. The atmosphere of Provence skillfully interwoven with two parallel plots.

Excellent plot.

This is my first book by the author and I have been delighted to listen to something really different. Really original. Listened in two days at every opportunity. The book just kept me guessing with unexpected twists. Loved it. Will be looking for more by Peter Mayle.
Excellent narration too.

Great story and plot.
