Product Description

In 1999 Vicki Archer made a lifelong dream a reality when she moved into a seventeenth-century property in Saint-Remy-de-Provence with her husband and three children. She spent three years lovingly restoring the farmhouse, bringing back to life the abandoned apple and pear orchards and planting an olive grove of more than two thousand trees. In ‘My French Life’ Vicky shares an insider’s view of France, telling her personal tale of taking risks, facing challenges and falling in love with all things French. Intertwined with Vicki’s words are lavish photographs by Carla Coulson, which reveal the essence of instinctive French style.

La Vie En Rose
A gorgeously presented account of, admittedly, an impossibly perfect family's enviably sun kissed life in the South of France, this book is a sumptuous gift for anyone planning to travel to Provence, or relive a former sojourn. Beautiful photography, delicious descriptions, evocative snapshots of homes, scenery, food, markets, beaches, flowers, mountains, people make this book feel more like an heirloom than a family album and it is just as delightful to read as it is to simply get lost in the images and dream.
