French Country Diary Calendar 2004 (Diary)

~ Linda Dannenberg (Author), Guy Bouchet (Photographer)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Created by Linda Dannenberg and the photographer Guy Bouchet, who together have access to the private farmhouses and glorious gardens of Provence, it is a calendar of intimate glimpses and evocative still lifes. The images are ravishing. Terraced boxwood hedges framing a turreted château. Rows of homemade confitures in a rustic cupboard. A reading corner in the morning sunlight. As always, the gift box, cover, endpapers, and weekly entries are decorated with Provençal fabrics. Trés chic.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL YEAR IN FRANCE, October 7, 2003

By A Customer

These calendars get more beautiful every year! I've collected them for twelve years and they line an entire kitchen bookshelf.
I love the design, with bits of French fabric patterns coordinated with each photo. Each page takes you to a different part of France, and a different aspect of French life. The Diary is romantic and captivating, and I buy quite a few as gifts since the price seems very reasonable. Vive Le Diary!
