Life In A French Country House Reviews

With tips and inspiration for living and entertaining a la francaise, you will delight in learning how to re-create chic French style for holiday celebrations, special events, and everyday occasions with seasonal tableware, recipes, interior design, and floral arrangements. -SOCIETY TEXAS

Cordelia de Castellane, the Queen of Chic and the artistic director of Dior Home and Baby Dior, spills her secrets to entertaining year-round. The new book features table-setting tips, recipes, and stunning photos from parties at her country estate. -ELLE DECOR

It is clear only a few pages into Cordelia de Castellane's delightfully chic 'Life in a French Country House' that the author's eclectic but elegant aesthetic has been decades in the making. -DEPARTURES

As France's most prominent host and the artistic director of Dior Home and Baby Dior, de Castellane is a notable ambassador of the Gallic lifestyle. In fact I'm told she is to French entertaining what Ines de la Fressange is to French style (quite a distinction!) and there's plenty of evidence to support that conjecture in the pages of this lush new book. -INTERIOR DESIGN MASTER CLASS

Layered table settings assembled from her designs for Dior, heirloom pieces and various things she's collected over the years are photographed with rich detail. Between lovely mise en scenes are recipes for each of the seasons. It is the perfect book to curl up with on a cold autumn day while you dream of holidays in the South of France. -FORBES
