Nos expressions provençales, recueillies dans les Baronnies

Nos expressions provençales, recueillies dans les Baronnies
(Our Provençal expressions, collected in the Baronnies)

by Jean-Louis Ramel,‎ Marie-Blanche Sigaud et Muriel Harlaut.

We have called this book "Nos expressions provençales" because it is really our expressions that we have written, as they came back to our memory, or as we still hear them from one moment to another in a conversation .
We met during several evenings and each contributed with enthusiasm its contribution to this modest collection.
We had a lot of fun remembering these tasty words and the humor of the merchants, peasants, housewives, who pronounced them.


This book allows us to share this pleasure and to perpetuate their use, because through their spirit, they condense a philosophy of life.
For us they are part of our identity that in today's world we wish to continue to live and to keep.
Dear reader. So here is this book, and as they say, " Vau mièi teni qu'espera. "
(Better to hold one thing than to wait for it!)
