This style book opens the doors of houses, apartments and chateaux throughout France - the homes of writers, aristocrats, artists and actors who have succeeded in creating their own particular ambience in a variety of architectural settings. La Vie en Rose opens the doors of homes of writers, aristocr ats, artists and actors who have created an original ambience in houses, apartments and chateaux throughout France. Some are French-born, others expatriates; some live in great castles or luxurious city apartments; others in Bohemian studios or simple farm and village dwellings, lured by the culture and style of the French joie de vivre. The book celebrates the rich variety of architectural and interior styles across the different regions of France. Divided into three sections - The Grand Style, City Chic, Life in the Country - contrasting settings and lifestyles are covered. In France, in recent years, influential designers and architects, such as Ines de la Fressange and Gae Aulenti, have nibbled away at fixed ideas and traditional styles. No-one can live in France and be impervious to French attitudes and flair; at the same time ideas from elsewhere constantly enliven the culture. The talents of lifestyle writer Suzanne Lowry and accomplished photographer Tim Clinch combine to conjure up the allure of living in la belle France. ...Show more

Almost French: A New Life in Paris by Sarah Turnbull

$9.00 AUD

Category: Travel

'This isn't like me. I'm not the sort of girl who crosses continents to meet up with a man she hardly knows. Paris hadn't even been part of my travel plan a' After backpacking her way around Europe journalist Sarah Turnbull is ready to embark on one last adventure before heading home to Sydney. A chance meeting with a charming Frenchman in Bucharest changes her travel plans forever. Acting on impulse, she agrees to visit Fr d ric in Paris for a week. Put a very French Frenchman together with a strong-willed Australian girl and the result is some spectacular - and often hilarious - cultural clashes. Language is a minefield of misunderstanding and the simple act of buying a baguette is fraught with social danger. But as she navigates the highs and lows of this strange new world, from the sophisticated caf s and haute couture fashion houses to the picture postcard French countryside, little by little Sarah falls under its spell: passionate, mysterious, infuriating, and charged with that French specialty - s duction. And it becomes her home. ALMOST FRENCH is the story of an adventurous heart, a maddening city - and love. ...Show more
