What has come to be known as the French country look is really the style of Provence -- the sun-drenched region in the south of France centering on Arles, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence. It is a land of cool stone chateaux, farmhouses painted in ochres and dusty roses, country roads bordered by rows of graceful cypress trees, fields of lavender, trellised grapevines, red tile roofs, ancient hilltop cities such as Les Baux, and the vivid blue of the Mediterranean along the Cote d'Azur. The clarity of the light and the intoxicating sensuality of the landscape inspired Cezanne and Van Gogh. In over 450 full-color photographs, Pierre Deux's French Country explores all the rich ingredients of Provencal style. There are chapters on colors, fabrics, pottery, furniture, decorative elements, houses, gardens, and French country adaptations in the United States. A ten-page directory offers U.S. and French sources for regional antiques and contemporary products. From the brightly patterned paisley cottons of Souleiado in Tarascon to the hand-blown glass of Biot and the hand-molded faience platters of Moustiers, from the massive 18th-century armoires and rush-seated banquettes and chairs to bread boxes, saltboxes, and chests with intricately carved floral motifs, the craftsmanship of the region imparts a special luster, a vibrancy and warmth of color and texture that survive in the works of today, Whether presenting a charmingly rustic ranch deep in the horse country of the Camargue, a Renaissance mas in the foothills of the Alps, or a wine-producer's estate near Saint-Remy, this book paints a vivid portrait of a land of grace and simplicity that is at once exuberantly beautiful, seductive, effortless, and sophisticated.

The iconic, collectible FRENCH COUNTRY DIARY debuts for 2012 with a dazzling new design featuring exclusive Olivades fabric patterns, vintage typography, and, as ever, the lush, evocative photographs of Guy Bouchet. Each of the fifty-two week-at-a-glance spreads offers an intimate vignette of the French countryside, including gardens, private homes, gastronomy, villages and inspiring landscapes. Building on its sell-out international success last season, the forthcoming FRENCH COUNTRY DIARY, created by Linda Dannenberg for Arts &amp; Style Publishing, promises to be one of the most beautiful and sought-after engagement calendars for 2012. The Diary's captivating design by Mary Jane Callister enhances the romantic Gallic mood of this unique engagement calendar. From breakfast in a Provençal garden with warm baguettes and flaky croissants, to a connoisseur's antique shop in Paris known for its period treasures, the elegant FRENCH COUNTRY DIARY 2012 continues the beloved tradition of this perennially popular week-at-a-glance engagement calendar, with a new year of evocative images. We discover a romantic autumn garden in a palette of purples and blues at chateau near Compiègne; a dream-like Medieval village perched on a hillside in the Bouches-du-Rhône; and the candle-lit Christmas table in Burgundy with a tureen of foie gras as mouth-watering center-piece. Here are the luminous colors, the poetic landscapes, and the luscious flavors of France to savor from week to week. A rich blue fabric pattern called 'Boutis' from Olivades graces the vibrant slip-case, while the linen-textured book cover displays the year '2012' on a ground of brilliant fuchsia. Lush four-color endpapers, generous space for jotting daily notes, and back matter that includes decorative address pages are what the Diary's worldwide legion of fans have come to expect. New this year -- a satin ribbon stitched in to mark each week.

Paris Way of Beauty, The, by Dannenberg, Linda

The Paris Way of Beauty

Simon&Schuster

Fifteen years strong. Fifteen years beautiful. Fifteen years the most elegant gift, and the perfect way to tell the Francophile in your life how much you care--even if (or especially if) that Francophile is yourself. Created by Linda Dannenberg and the photographer Guy Bouchet, who together have access to the private farmhouses and glorious gardens of Provence, it is a calendar of intimate glimpses and evocative still lifes. The images are ravishing. Terraced boxwood hedges framing a turreted chateau. Rows of homemade confitures in a rustic cupboard. A reading corner in the morning sunlight. As always, the gift box, cover, endpapers, and weekly entries are decorated with Provenal fabrics. Tres chic.
