For sometime now I have anticipated the release of Vicki Archer's latest book French Essence. It does not fail in satisfying my love affair and enthusiasm for all things French! I have enjoyed living vicariously through Vicki's blog and her first book My French Life, which was released in 2006.
French Essence continues Vicki Archer's "love affair with France and in particular Provence" where she lives. "It is a written and photographic celebration of this".
"Vicki Archer reveals the underpinnings of that famous French ambience and sense of style, and offers inspiration to all of us who want to understand the beauty, experience the lifestyle and emulate the interiors of this exquisite part of the world."
To celebrate today's release of French Essence - I share some images I LOVE.....
"I like to think that in France there is a sixth sense - a French sense" Vicki Archer
This book is truly like taking a holiday! With Vicki Archer's inspiring words and Carla Coulson's stunning photography, French Essence is absolutely beautiful...a book I will love reading time and time again!

Hi Amanda
Vicki's book sounds wonderful and these images you have shown us makes it all so more tempting!! Love that outdoor setting ... how beautiful and decadent!!

I can't wait to read it. With an outdoor area as beautiful and comfortable as that I don't think any friends invited round to enjoy it would ever leave!

I love those BIG books stacked up against the chair.
Lovely post on Vicki's 'new baby' Amanda. She of course, wanted to add a chapter about the renovating adventures of her friends Millie & MOTH in the Adelaide Hills, but surprisingly her Publishers rejected it!!! Something about the subjects lacking a certain amount of 'jeune se quois'!
Millie ^_^

I NEED a copy! Love the outdoor settings!
I love the four enormous books being used as an occasional table!
If the cover is indication of what else is inside I will love this book. It's something I would carry in the shop. Beautiful!
This book totally appeals to me! I am a francophile at heart. In fact, I just bought 2 books on French design - Essentially French and French Style at Home. Can't get enough!!
FRENCH Essence... I like the name...will check out the book soon...I've been buying books left & right for the empty space in my bookshelf.
