Description

The washerwoman Madame Escoffier had a beautiful washing machine at home. But she liked to go to the river to wash.
The shepherdess, Madame Mundet, would not have left her place in the midst of her sheep to anyone. The farmer, Madame Laugier, lived in her paradise, without ever taking a vacation. Photos are sometimes misleading. 
 
Let's meet these 12 women from the Alpes Maritimes and the Var. They bear witness to a vanished rural world where gestures punctuated daily life.
 
Thanks to this book, you participate in the backup of André Abbe's 100,000 archive photos.
Thank you to all the volunteers who support the Abbe Photo and Passadoc associations.

Reviews of the book "Femmes de Provence

As with all Passadoc and Abbe Photo publications, the workmanship is very, very meticulous, successfully showcasing André's superb photos. The layout, with its delicate reminder of the yellow of the mimosas on the cover pages and on the map of Provence: refined! The bookmark and protective tissue paper, sealed with a pastille, also serve as a reminder of the objective: 87,000 photos still to be digitized. A REMARKABLE achievement. Congratulations also to Mrs. Fanchtein!

The packaging is neat and of high quality, and the object and photos are of good quality. It now adorns and evokes the scents of Provence in my office.

Xavier B.

Each photo, all the texts project me back to when I accompanied my parents and grandparents in all the work in the fields (especially the harvest). It is a hymn to the "true", with deep roots. Delicious Proust's madeleines, which make you feel good.

They talk about the previous book!

It is the memory of our region.

Eric C.

A nice and moving ride season after season, which we really can't get enough of.

Frédérique M.

Under the sun of Provence, a small village between the Mediterranean and Argens. To remember.
