A Year in the French Style Antoinette Poisson Book

A true invitation to immerse yourself in the charming and authentic atmosphere of the 18th century and to discover an exceptional art of living. 

This book celebrates an art of living inspired by the 18th centuryn highlighting its objects, its gastronomy and its Savoir-Faire. Imbued with charm and history, La Maison Lescop in Port-Louis, France was the ideal playground for the creative duo Antoinette Poisson who are restoring and bringing this back to life.

They share with us their life far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, to the rhythm of the seasons, between shellfish fishing, summer markets, flea markets, dyeing textiles with indigo, making their own paper...and offer us an experience inspiring and practical life. With love and conviviality at the heart of it, this book is an opportunity to open the doors of this house that has won them over. They invite us to discover the passions that drive them, the accomplices who accompany them, the places that touch them, the flavors that transport us, but also the little secrets of everyday decoration.
