The small villages scatter throughout the Burgundy countryside are filled with such charm. I’ve particularly fallen in love with the muted range of colors which bring life to the shutters and doorways.
The other afternoon, Sven and I took the bikes to our nearby village, Saint-Gengoux-le-National. The little cobbled streets of Saint-Gengoux-le-National are like most villages in Burgundy – cozy, quaint, and peaceful. I’ve been feeling so inspired by the unique textures and beautifully soft colors that contrast the stony hues of the buildings in these French villages. Maybe I’ll bring them into my design work later.
I’m sad to be leaving this region in just a few days, but excited to discover a whole new part of France. On Sunday, we are heading to a new chateau in Loire Valley.
Talk soon,
Rebecca
