Slow Life in France

As many of you know, Patina Collection was created out of my love for European antiques and accessories. I love bringing the European lifestyle here to Naples so you too can experience it year round. Although my husband and I chose Tuscany, Italy to make as our European home we travel all over Europe from there. Next to Italy, France is one of our favorite spots. The markets in Avignon and the neighboring locales are always a part of our summer buying trips for the store. Along the way, I have become friends with a beautiful woman, Annie Jacquet Bentley. Annie came into my first Patina location here in Naples, and we became fast friends. Born in France, we share the love for all things European, that beckoning lifestyle that we all travel across the pond to find. Grounding ourselves in all things that make us truly happy!

Annie has a lovely house in Gascony, France that I would love to introduce you to. Located in the beautiful Southwest of France, not far from Spain. Touted as “One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France”. I am sharing her property so that you might easily find a way to find a piece of your European paradise. Especially this coming summer, when the hope of a world open to travel is forward in our minds. Visit www.slowlifeinfrance.com.
