Bienvenue chez les Provençaux ! #[nn]

A sun-drenched slice of Provence comes to life in this bande dessinée from Olivier Bauza, published by De Borée. The cover sets the tone perfectly: a young woman in a pink top stands arms-crossed while a grinning fellow tosses a pétanque ball her way, boasting "Zou ! Aux boules, on craint dégun !" — all beneath a shady tree with a lavender field, church steeple, and windmill stretching across the golden Provençal countryside behind them. Warm, playful, and steeped in regional character, this 2011 album looks like an affectionate comic love letter to life in the South of France.
