"We look to the French to guide us on the latest trends--from layering mirrors to Baroque mantels for way less. So it's no wonder they were early adopters of abandoning busy cities for the calmer countryside, long before the pandemic spurred a mass exodus in the U.S. In a new book, Coming Home to Nature: The French Art of Countryfication, authors Gesa Hansen, Estelle Marandon, and Charlotte Huguet interview a handful of transplants on why they left the City of Light--and why they haven't looked back. In an excerpt, below, a different Charlotte (this one a lifelong Parisian) and her partner, Emiliano (from the hills of Tuscany), admit their fair share of hesitation over moving into the "near ruin" structure they now call home, about an hour outside the city. And for urbanites who haven't taken the leap just yet, read on for eight crucial questions the authors suggest you ask yourself before you do." --DOMINO

Synopsis
Has the hustle and bustle of city life begun to feel just a bit overwhelming? Do you ever dream of open skies and fields? This volume lightheartedly approaches all the questions of those who want live or dream of living a life away from hyperactive urban centers: how to live alongside nature, to garden, to live with animals; how to dress to fit your new setting (stay warm! stay dry!); how to furnish and organize your larger country house; how to host beautifully relaxed soirées where you'll linger over diner with your guests. Alongside a dozen portraits of individuals and families who have already converted to country living, offering paths and courage to those still hesitant, you will find tips, insights, practical advice, even recipes and methods for homemade furniture. Whether you are still indecisive or already living your dream life, this book is filled with inspiration and thoughtful advice for tackling every aspect of country living, and for writing a new chapter, refreshed and renewed. More and more city-dwellers dream of a life reconnected with nature, these three ex-Parisians-and a dozen families who have inspired them to make the leap-have already dared to start anew and deliver in this volume their fun and lively vision for modern country living., The call of the wild has never looked as stylish as in these homes nestled in the French countryside, crafted by families pursuing a new form of country living. A manor next to an elegant seventeenth-century castle in a picturesque village, a restored four-hundred-year-old windmill, or a ruin in the Barbizon forest transformed into a contemporary timber house--our trio of authors saw the potential in these rural homes and took the leap into a life rhythmed by nature. But how did these urban dwellers step away from the glamour of Paris, and why haven't they looked back? A calmer life enriched by its surroundings, with more space at home, a burgeoning garden, and a relaxed ambiance is a seductive combination. But a country house is different from a cozy apartment, just steps from modern conveniences. In their search for a deeper experience, they embarked on a long-term project that required planning and effort, but it brought unexpected joy along with the challenges. Life in the countryside takes adjustment and there is much to be learned--from furnishing and organizing your home to getting the most from nature and your garden, and from dressing to suit your new setting to hosting relaxed soirées where you'll linger over dinner with your guests. This is the art of countryfication. Alongside portraits of similar-minded individuals and families who have adopted country living, this book provides insight, practical advice, and recipes that celebrate life in the countryside, all while retaining a Parisian flair.

    I had been looking for the Dior perfume for awhile. The price the seller was asking was so reasonable. I made the offer, the seller accepted and the transaction was completed quickly. The item arrived and had been carefully packed and was exactly what I wanted. Excellent transaction. I would buy from this seller again.
