The Ultimate Visual Guide to Simple French Country Home Design

I don’t know what it is about French home exteriors that gets me excited, but I can’t help but be drawn to them.  Perhaps it’s the high roof peaks?  Or the tall rectangular windows?  Or the natural stone and wood facade?  Or that dreamy landscaping?

Pablo Picasso’s French Riviera Home

I am IN LOVE with Pablo Picasso’s French riviera home, both inside and out.  I know I was focusing on French home exteriors in this post, but how can we not swoon over the interior design?

This master bedroom is what minimalistic design dreams are made of.

Dreamy Design from the South of France

Located on the Braque River near Nice, France, this home was once owned by France’s most famous singer, “The Little Sparrow,” Édith Piaf.

This seven bedroom, six bath restored and renovated home has Provencal-style interiors that are cool in the summer months and cozy in the autumn and winter.

Currently being used as a venue for weddings and other large gatherings, there is plenty of space for family and friends with its large rooms, large swimming pool with terraces and expansive gardens.
