Bonjour!
Spend a gentle spring day in the French countryside, filled with elegant simplicity, creative rituals, and slow, meaningful pleasures. In today’s video, I begin at our Airbnb in town, preparing floral arrangements to welcome new guests. From there, I wander through the historic streets of Saintes toward one of my favorite places, the Musée Dupuy-Mestreau, a museum filled with history and quiet beauty. Back home, I explore the art of fragrance blending through an online class and use what I’ve learned to craft a nourishing, homemade hand balm using natural butters and essential oils. As the day softens into evening, I retreat to the garden. Whether you're here for French lifestyle inspiration, elegant slow living, or simply to escape into the rhythm of a peaceful day, I hope you enjoy this quiet escape.
