A WEEK IN
PROVENCE
Living Large in the South of France
It’s time for “the big reveal.”
Before me stands an imposing green gate, behind which lies
a villa which will be my home for the next few days in the
lavender-laden, French Provencal village of Opio. I wonder if
the house will live up to the images of the chic, airy escape
I found online…or if it will prove to be an A Year in Provence-
style fixer-upper complete with a leaky roof, groaning pipes
and temperamental toilets that refuse to flush without curs-
ing, begging, and bargaining with a higher power.
