Oh, to be in France! This elegant datebook is utterly transporting, filled with dozens of full-color photographs that capture the romance and sun-soaked beauty of the French countryside. A terrace shaded by cypress and plane trees is an ideal spot for a languid lunch. Bunches of fat purple grapes hang enticingly from an arbor. Plus, fields of startling yellow colza, fishing boats moored at Port du Niel, a kitchen stocked with Barbotine plates and vintage stoneware pots, and luscious pears poached in red wine. Intricate Provençal fabrics decorate the cover and gift box, and frame the pages of the diary. Some call it France, you can call it home.

My Country Diary is with me 24/7. There is room for personal engagements, car repairs, birthdays, reminders, tax records and much more. A terrific hard-copy record of my fun and finances. I can't imagine any other time keeper.

A SHEER DELIGHT!,

When was writing reminder notes and filling in your calendar ever fun? Well, the French Country Diary offers so much pleasure in its page-by-page photographic illustrations that one cannot even resist leaving the diary open on a counter top. Every year offers an awesome collection of photos capturing the best of French culture and true beauty of its countryside, delicacies, and decor. This has become a traditional xmas gift for all my family and friends, who will remain avid French Country Diary collectors for years to come.

A pleasure to look at every day of the year. Beautiful photos and design. I buy one every year. In my opinion anything you have to look at everyday should be fun to look at!
