Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The French Touch: Decoration and Design in the Most Beautiful Homes of France (Paperback)
As a true follower of French design & architecture, I was disappointed. First, I am not found of "coffee table" books in paperback -- immediately it cheapens the experience. Second, I found there little guidance of substance on creating the "French touch". The photos and homes did not meet my expectations.

Comme il faut!,
This review is from: The French Touch: Decoration and Design in the Most Beautiful Homes of France (Hardcover)
"Houses like this make you want to read Balzac..." written by the editor of Maison & Jardin, this book is a treat. It may be just a coffee-table book, but it is also an assemblage of unique home interiors which are unlike those in the USA. Despite having been to France several times, I am unlikely to have the chance to see this type of decor unless I vastly improve my social contacts! Overall, I found it charming.

Brilliant and imaginative French masterpiece,
By A Customer
This review is from: The French Touch: Decoration and Design in the Most Beautiful Homes of France (Paperback)
Daphne de Saint Sauveur has been an inspiration to those people,who like myself,enjoy the qualities and classic poise of French decorating.The elegance and colour shown in this book has assisted me greatly in decorating my recently purchased french provincial styled home on Sydney's north shore. Many of the homes displayed are furnished with typical gallic flair and the country homes and gardens detail the personalities of their owners
