Description

The author of 'My French Life' returns with a breathtaking, full-color tour of the culture and style unique to Provence.
Ten years ago, Vicki Archer and her husband began restoring a seventeenth-century olive farm in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, resurrecting the ancient orchards and renovating the farmhouse. The story of Archer's dream come true is an enchanting one, captured on the pages of her debut book, 'My French Life.' Now fully at home in this magnificent corner of the world, she brings us a guide for celebrating and re-creating Proven?al ambiance.
A lover of architecture, art, furniture, and d?cor, Archer knows that the best interiors are inspired by the heart as much as the mind. 'French Essence' is designed to spark both, with gorgeous photographs of lush gardens, timeless interiors, hauntingly beautiful village lanes, and inspired aesthetic details. Sumptuous cuisine and charming shops are also essential features of the tour, giging all readers the chance to vicariously savor the sensuous pleasures and effortless chic of this region. Reminiscent of Frances Mayes's lavishly illustrated books, 'In Tuscany' and 'Bringing Tuscany Home,' Archer's captivating words and scenes open the doors of inspiration for all who cherish the French way of life. The author of 'My French Life' returns with a breathtaking, full-color tour of the culture and style unique to Provence. Now fully at home in this magnificent corner of the world, she brings a guide for celebrating and re-creating Provenal ambiance.
