My French Style

The real reason I love this book, the shining star above and beyond the story, for me, is the page after page of glorious full size color photos of the best that France has to offer. Wonderful stacks of monogrammed linens, clumps of deep blue lavender plants in full bloom, rows and rows of olive trees, the deep azure water along the coast, cafes in Paris, landscapes in every season, antiques, table settings and markets. There are many impressive transformation pictures, before and after shots of the villa, which of course is now stunning. There are wonderful vignettes and sneak peaks into different rooms of her home
and just looking at this book reminds me of why I love Paris.
