Accompanied by Naudin's wonderful photography, this book discloses to the reader an "intimate" France, seen from behind the closed doors of private country homes and mansions. Within this quaint and picturesque world, time seems to stand still: family villas full of history, breathtaking landscapes, summer holidays spent in the countryside...This charming book will take you on a visit to country manors, small chateaux and exclusive country hotels. It features beautiful images of aristocratic dining rooms set for dinner, rustic kitchens in the midst of preparing a delicious meal, fragrant flower gardens, antique furniture and exquisitely embroidered linen: all of this exudes the essence of traditional French elegance and art of living.
