a french country home


This beautiful Mas (a country house or farm in the South of France, usually made of stone) is located in Uzès, right in the heart of the Provence. The house is beautifully renovated and decorated with materials such as wood, stone and metal. I think this is a perfect combination of modern elements and traditional features.

French Farmhouse Restored into Luxury Home

Heather Depuis and her family relocated to Brittany, in France, in 1999, where they set up home in a traditional longere (farmhouse). Heather oversaw the complete restoration of the property as well as its interior design. The use of vibrant colour was integral to her scheme and the look is strongly influenced by the colours and style seen in the houses of Provence.
