A propos de cet article

Do you enjoy laughing while rekindling fond travel memories? You are going to love Uncorked because Paul Shore's wry wit and big heart will spark flashbacks of your own travel adventures.Shore's storytelling humorously celebrates the uncorking of many of France's most cherished traditions --- learning to play boules under the clandestine cover of darkness; cheese-plate etiquette; drinking before noon; and dodging exhaled cigarette smoke Paul also uncovers personal awakenings about the value of following paths-less-travelled, and slowing down to smell-the-roses. All while, his self-deprecating humor and sincere respect for the value of traditions enable him to make friends and gain acceptance within a quirky foreign culture. And, triggered by living for a year in the village of the great artist Marc Chagall, Shore also reflects on the challenges that all newcomers face in their adopted lands. TREAT YOURSELF TODAY to some laughter and fond reminiscing Praise for Uncorked: Recently earned acclaim from the prestigious Next Generation Indie Book Awards, as a Finalist in the Travel Category. Exactly the type of book I crave.only better Shore's writing immediately feels like you're on a tour with a friend who tells it like it is. His self-deprecating humor and humility make it no wonder that he found a way to ingratiate himself into a tight-knit community in the south of France and enjoy life as a local.--- Sandy Abrams, entrepreneur, author of Your Idea, Inc, and Huffington Post blogger Like a wry cross between Bill Bryson and Dave Bidini, Paul Shore's funny, self-deprecating and wholesome recounting of a year spent in Provence is one part travelogue, one part self-help guide, and one part memoir. Uncorked is just like a good French wine: light, delicious, and full of flavour.--- Grant Lawrence, CBC broadcaster and author of Adventures in Solitude A computer geek in the South of France? What could go wrong? With remarkable storytelling skill, Shore brings to life a time and place where community, simplicity and a slower pace were revered -- a younger generation's A Year in Provence.--- Sarah Bancroft, writer of the blog A Year in Paris Shore's light-hearted story takes you to a place where the simple joys in life are what matters. During my Man in Motion World Tour 30 years ago, I wish I could have slowed down as Paul did.--- Rick Hansen, founder and CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation.…
