Caravan to Vaccares

From all over Europe - even from behind the Iron Curtain - the gypsies make their annual pilgrimage to Provence. The Duc de Croytor, distinguished folklorist and gastronome, is there, and so is Englishman Neil Bowman. But something is different about this year's gathering...

What is the secret the gypsies are so determined to hide? Bowman comes too close to it for safety, and before long he is running for his life.

From the dizzy ramparts of Les Baux to the vast limestone caverns beneath, from fiesta in Arles to the flat, salty plains of the Camargue, from the terror of the bull-ring to collisions at sea, the pace never falters.
