Provencal Inspiration: Living the French Country Spirit

FROM THE PUBLISHER

From the bright beaches of the Cote d'Azur to the lavender plains and ocher cliffs of Vaucluse, Provence has something for everyone. Quiet hikes through the hilly countryside. Relaxing days at the seaside. Fascinating journeys through charming shops, cafes, fine galleries and museums. Grand examples of historic architecture. The French Country homes of Provence are alluring as well. Rugged, earth-toned exteriors hold graceful interiors that reflect the brilliant colors of the landscape.

Our hectic lives may not allow us time to visit Provence, but we can embrace its stylistic elements and welcome their simple beauty into our daily living spaces. Provencal Inspiration helps you incorporate Provencal elegance into your own home. In addition to learning about the architecture and design styles of Provence, you'll discover regional fabrics, folk arts and cuisine. To help you create a fulfilling French Country environment, we've selected over 100 home designs and landscapes that are reminiscent of Provencal and French Country style.
