I could write about the farmers markets a lot! I think it was my first stop right after we moved to France...

Where did it all begin? The popular story on how the name "bistro" originated says it came from the Russian word "bistro" or "quick"...

Walking through a French flea market you will notice heaps of beautifully embroidered vintage and antique linen sheets, kitchen towels...

And by "lavender country" I mean Provence, bien sûr! We spent a few days in the area of Gorge du Verdon, in the Alps de Haute Provence...

I have been a few times to Avignon, but this time I decided to stay and spend more time across the river Rhone, in Villeneuve-Lez-Avignon.

If you have been following me here for a while, you know that brocante is my life - I dream, live and breath "les puces"...

What defines the style that has been around for ages? When asked what is exactly French Country style, I picture natural wood, stone walls.
