– Can you learn to argue like a French person?
– What books have changed French lives?
– Most important of all, how do you keep your soup from exploding?

SYNOPSIS

Can a two-career couple really pick up stakes and move to Provence?

Keith and Val had a dream – to live in Provence, the land of brilliant sunlight, charming hilltop villages and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean. But there were two problems: they weren’t French speakers and they had full-time jobs. So they came up with a plan…

Follow their adventures (and misadventures) as they quit their jobs, become consultants and split their time between two countries. Laugh along as they build a life in Provence, slowly mastering a new language and making friends with the locals over long meals and just a bit too much wine.

If you’ve ever dreamed of changing gears and learning what joie de vivre is really all about, you won’t want to miss this delightful book.

TOUR QUOTATIONS

Books Are Cool

Oh, but I love this book about expat life in Provence! It’s beautifully written, thoroughly entertaining and sums up the expat experience superbly. The writing sparkles with enjoyment and humour.
From the jolly, lively and excellent cover to the last page, this book keeps you riveted and provides plenty of chuckles. I do hope there’ll be some sequels as this is an author I want to keep on reading.

Locks, Hooks and Books

I laughed so hard so many times throughout. I love seeing what it was like to travel through France as an American.
One Sip at a Time is indeed, a fun, entertaining, and delightful read, packed full of humor.
I absolutely loved it!
Highly, highly recommend it.

An Accidental Blog

This book is full of the author’s observations of life as he and his wife move to Provence.
If you’re curious about life in France and interested in a light-hearted look at it, One Sip at a Time can take you there.

Grass Monster

This a very easy read and we are treated to many delights including the French countryside, French culture, the locals and above all some yummy French food and wine.
Keith is telling his story and providing us with a fun filled journey. This was a joy to read and I am looking forward to more adventures from Keith Van Sickle in the future.

Words And Peace

Hilarious vignettes on adjusting to French living. Neat way of discovering real France!

Svetlana’s Reads and Views

Looking for a short and sweet guide on what its like to live in France that is informative yet hilarious? Look no further than this book.

Musings of a Writer & Unabashed Francophile

This book was a welcome indulgence, a way to live vicariously through the fun and travails of others. Now, though, I think I need to go book a trip to France.

Shree

The book thoroughly entertained me. The book had a large potential to be this boring guide of Provence and France. Thankfully the writer turned this one into an interesting and humorous read making it a complete entertainer.
