Bourdain does Provence


One of my favorite TV personalities, Anthony Bourdain, brought his show "No Reservations" to Provence recently and the episode aired last night on The Travel Channel. Bourdain has a knack for mixing in with the locals and finding hidden gems. And his tour of Provence was no different. He drank Ricard and red wine like a champion with the local boys, dined on savory Provencal style cooking, and toured cool towns and vineyards.

"How can you not like a place with great food, great wine and free health care," he commented.

Look for his show on The Travel Channel. They repeat the episodes from time to time. Apparently Samantha Brown, also a Travel Channel celebrity who many say looks like my wife (or vice versa) also has done an episode on Provence, but she doesn't have quite the edge that Bourdain has.

  1. Drinking Rickard and red wine like the locals is key to life in Provence

    I'm going to try and watch that episode of 'No Reservations' on the internet.
