Live your best life
I’ve been visiting France most of my life. In my twenties I was driving my 2CV back and forth between Paris and Provence. Since then we've raised our family of five children in a French country village and my love of this fascinating country, its history and its people have captured my heart. I truly am living my best life and now I want to share that with you.
Do you want to explore this secret gem of an area in South West France and enjoy a fabulous vacation? We would love to welcome you to stay in our luxuriously rustic laid back guest cottage, it's the perfect place to unwind, relax and escape the stresses of everyday life.
And if you'd rather we join you for some or all of the time then we offer either single accompanied days out or tailor made unique experiences.
If your goal is to live the French dream in your own house, either on a permanent basis or with a vacation home? We’re here to help you find your perfect French property.
And if you want to add a little unique French history to your home have a browse around our online shop. We offer a carefully curated selection of French vintage and antique items. We also source specific items on request and we ship priority around the world.

The better way to style your home
Adding a touch of vintage is always a good idea. One foot in the past and one foot in the present will always give your interiors an individual touch.
We spend hours, weeks and months, searching for one off unique items, often purchased privately and found anywhere from tiny farm cottages to beautiful châteaux.
We try to find out as much history as we can about every item and we only ever sell what we would want in our own home. We have purposefully kept our inventory small and select and it is changing all the time, so do check back often.
Every piece has its own unique history and whenever possible we include details of its provenance.
We use recycled packaging as often as we can and we ship priority, tracked and signed for Worldwide.
