Isn't it wonderful that we can include different cultures into our life! It makes ours so much richer, when we do.
This isn't necessarily decorating your home in a French Country style, although that can be part of it.
Here, we look at taking some of the culture & lifestyle of France and incorporate it into our life; making it fun and interesting. There is nothing worse than the hum-drum of daily life and nothing more exciting than doing something new, something different...putting a zest, a "je ne sais quoi" into our lifestyle.
This is so much fun, whether that is a sitting with friends in a lovely outdoor bistro as the city goes on around you, or a glass of rich Merlot and aged Camembert cheese before sitting down to a cassoulet or ratatouille.
Or, perhaps it is a large silver vase of white roses, or a soft, provencale furnishings against a rough stone wall.
No matter which you choose, adding a bit of French culture into your lifestyle can be an exhilerating experience and by incorporating that into your current lifestyle, give a full meaning to "Joie de Vivre ". After all, a "Lifestyle" is a realization of your dreams and aspirations...settle for nothing less.
Below, we have 2 inspirational videos. The first is the culture of Paris, the second, an epitomization of the French style, in a Normandie chateau. The trick is to incorporate some of the basic elements of this, and bring "un petit peu de France dans votre vie"-"a bit of France" into your life.
