Provencal Escapes: Inspiring Homes in Provence and the Cote D"Azur
Provence is a garden of earthly delights that provides a constant stream of satisfaction for the senses of sight, scent and taste. "Provencal Escapes" celebrates 22 beautiful homes in the region. Decorative styles differ, varying from the cosy romanticism of restored stone farm buildings to the clean simplicity of pared-down modern style, from the traditional elegance of a small chateau to the intriguing eclecticism of a tiny holiday retreat overlooking the sparkling sea of the Cote d"Azur. But every scheme is coloured by a predominantly rural lifestyle and the natural elements, and above all by the region"s character. This is an irresistible book for all those seduced by the Provencal way of life.
