A hardcover pairing of M.F.K. Fisher's essays on Provence with photographs by Aileen Ah-Tye. Fisher writes about Aix-en-Provence and Marseille: a bakery window in Aix, fountains and Mozart during the festival, the docks and fish market of Marseille. Ah-Tye's photos grew out of a letter she sent Fisher from Marseille, and the book sets her images beside Fisher's text. It suits readers of food and travel writing and admirers of Fisher's prose more than shoppers looking for a practical guidebook, since it offers no maps, listings or itineraries.

Fisher's Provence pairs some of Fisher's best-known essays with photographs by Aileen Ah-Tye. The book shows Fisher's love of Provence and her strong sense of place.
The essays compare Aix-en-Provence with Marseille. Aix is a university town, the site of an international music festival and the former capital of Provence. Marseille is the port town. Fisher describes the sights and smells of an Aix bakery shop window and the sound of the town's fountains mixed with Mozart during the festival.
Ah-Tye was inspired by Fisher's writing to look for her Provence. Her photographs came out of a collaboration with Fisher that celebrates the sensual pleasures of life.
