Let Jamie Beck transport you to the South of France with An American in Provence: part art book, part travelogue, part memoir, and part cookbook, and perfect for art lovers, Francophiles, and armchair travelers alike.

An American in Provence is a beautiful collection of exquisite portrait, scenic, and still-life photography from wildly popular and award-winning photographer Jamie Beck. Looking to slow down from her fast-paced life in New York City, Beck moved to the French countryside documenting her life as “An American in Provence.” What started as a one-year getaway became five as she continues to chronicle her life there through her photography on Instagram @JamieBeck.co, including the birth of her daughter, Eloise, all in the most breathtaking way.

In An American in Provence, Beck shares her tips and techniques for creating incredible photos and details her transformational journey as an artist and woman. Beck also includes farm-to-table recipes she's learned along the way, including Braised Beef Stew, Spring Chicken with Herbs de Provence, Fresh Tagliatelle Pasta with Spring Asparagus, and Lemon Meringue Tart. This stunning visual journey is sure to delight anyone who wishes to escape reality and immerse themselves in life in Provence.

Beautiful from start to finish

This makes me so inspired to pursue a life that looks different from those around me. I wanted to cry so many times because Jamie’s words spoke directly to my soul. I ordered the hard copy too because I’m dying to try the recipes!

wonderful to travel along.

I have followed Janie's insta account for a while. This was a wonderful way to follow along her journey. what a gift she gives all of us.

Illuminating

Jamie Beck has written a book that transports you to France. Her story is told through personal essays on transformation, photography and her newfound life in Provence. She transports you through each season weaving together the last 5 years of her life. In addition to personal essays, the book is a visual delight filled with recipes, photography tutorials! Bravo!

I loved every minute!

This book completely exceeded my expectations. I loved every minute. It felt as if I was getting a glimpse of what the REAL culture in France is and I’m in love.

An enchanting listen

As a long time follower of Jamie’s IG, and a fellow photographer and Francophile myself, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her account of life in Provence. Very inspiring and a great insight into her creative journey and thought processes. Oh and listening to her sensuous voice read recipes aloud made me want to cook everything! Bravo Jamie!

Yes, Provence is Lovely

I expected this book to be more about the author’s photographic works, fine art and the ways of seeing things differently rather than superlative upon superlative about Provence. It lovely. We get it. But there’s only so much ohmahgahditssobeautiful I can handle.

Narration was good.

Inspiring and enjoyed listening to her story

Loved listening to Jamie Beck tell her story. Buy the book to go with the audible for all the photos and recipes. She is very talented and her art shows.

An intoxicating dream

I will be revisiting this audio book again and again (I also have the physical version adorning my coffee table). At my recommendation, many of my friends and family have begun listening to this book. Jamie paints an exquisite picture of life in Provence. I am an American who has also moved to France. While in Paris, I benefit from many of the same improvements in lifestyle and perspective but now I have an insatiable itch to move south. Thank you for making this dream accessible, if only through imagination.
