Description
The homes Ros Byam Shaw tours in Perfect French Country are, in the words of their owners, nothing short of 'paradise'. Get inspired by these dreamy houses that combine traditional rustic elegance with modern comfort and a big dose of French chic.
In Perfect French Country, Ros Byam Shaw celebrates the rustic, relaxed lifestyle of rural France at its finest, with house tours of a dozen idyllic properties, from a Normandy chateau to a farmhouse in Provence. Here is the legendary French sense of style in its home environment: kitchens paved in worn terracotta, living rooms where elegant sofas are upholstered in soft linen, terraces furnished with curly metal chairs. Here are ancient beams and stone fireplaces, panelling and shuttered windows - and a way of life reflected in the comfort and patina of rooms that are pretty, practical and effortlessly chic. Let Perfect French Country inspire you to create your own slice of French paradise whether your home is in Cannes or Camden.
