No writer has managed to capture in words the beauty of Provence and the manners of its people as well as novelist and film-maker Marcel Pagnol did, which is why his books have often been adapted into movies. Film-maker Claude Berri for instance released to critical acclaim an updated version of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources in the 1980s while Pagnol’s affectionate reminiscences of his childhood, La Gloire de mon père and Le château de ma mère were filmed successfully by Yves Robert in 1990.
