Stationery

This is the gift of France. A week-at-a-glance datebook celebrating the French countryside with dozens of full-colour photographs, the French Country Diary is a romantic escape.

Delicate lace curtains hanging in a cafe window. A crumbling stone wall covered in vines. A stone terrace overlooking a lush summer landscape. A table set for a Bastille Day celebration in festive red, white, and blue. The pristine, manicured gardens at the Chateau de Fontenay. The countryside blanketed in a layer of bright white frost.

Colourful Provencal fabrics embellish the calendar's pages, cover, and elegant gift box, and there's ample room to write notes for each day.
