The interior hard-cover of our 2022 edition of the French Country Diary is embellished by an elegant, linen-textured red floral print called "Pensées" from the famed Provençal textile company, Les Olivades.
 
Each of the week-at-a-glance spreads offers a vignette of the French countryside, including gardens, private homes, villages and inspiring landscapes.This year's edition of the much-loved Diary takes you from the lavendar-scented landscape and medieval towns of Provence's Luberon region; to the Channel coast of Normandy, where the rural routes along the coast lead to memorable discoveries of historic ports and hidden gardens, and to Paris, always, l'amour parfait.  Throughout the year we visit some of France's most beautiful private homes full of fabulous design ideas -- a noble estate in Normandy with a 16th-century dovecote; a florist's home in Le Perche, an antiquaire's colorful town house in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and a lavishly detailed historic Directoire mansion in Paris.
 
   Design elements are as handsome as ever. Lush, four-color endpapers, generous space for jotting daily notes, a ribbon stitched in to mark each week, and back matter that includes decorative address pages are what the Diary's worldwide legion of fans have come to expect.
