Our second year of the magazine, creating beautiful content for you to enjoy, on line or in your hand.    In this issue we include our guide to visiting Paris; we take you inside some beautiful French homes; share delicious French  recipes; show you how to make a designer bouquet and much much more.

So glad you like the purse, I love this brand!

In the magazine we run an article about the founder of this brand, called Maison Baluchon. And I’m very excited to say that later this year they will be a partner for our Stylish French Box.

Thanks for the opportunity! Your publication is lovely, and I’d very much enjoy a subscription!

Happy New Year, Sharon, and to your wonderful support team behind My French Country Home!

I would really like to congratulate you for not only writing such an enjoyable blog but on the huge success of your magazine. I’m sure all your readers really appreciate the huge amount of work and dedication it takes to produce such an interesting and diverse blog and the magazine is the icing on the cake.
The introduction of your digital mini magazine is sheer genius – I enjoy my sneak peek at the latest issue before the printed copy lands in my letterbox. Living in Australia, it takes a little longer and I don’t want to be tempted by the full digital version and spoil the anticipation of feeling the printed magazine in my hands.
Thank you again.
