Rec me books that will take me awaaaaaay.

Give me your Avignons, your Carcassonnes, your Perpignans. Historical fiction about Popes and kings? Yes please. Ghastly stories about the Albigensian inquisition and plague? Mais oui! Food writing attempting to describe different kinds of cheese and wine? By all means. A highly unlikely romance where a repressed Anglo woman has adventures with a sexy Mediterranean guy in this or any century? Bring it on (although this genre tends to be pretty bad, but a guilty pleasure is still a pleasure.) Whatever it is, if it's engrossing and it's set in the south of France*, I wanna read it. Let's see whatcha got.

(I already read the Destiny of Fire series, recommended in an earlier ask of mine, which was right in the zone, although not exactly a barrel of monkeys.)

*Other regions of France can be considered but I'm not really looking for stuff about Paris.
