Village to Village...

Our September buying trip was a twenty-five day trek through countless villages in four different regions of France: Normandy, Brittany, la Touraine, and l'Ile de France. Every region of France is unique with its own traditions and culinary specialties,

its own architecture,

and of course, its own charm.

Each French village has its unique personality that gives its inhabitants a sense of belonging--one that's been passed down through the generations. They all share in common familiar destinations that are part of the fabric of everyday life:

The nearby farm...

The local castle...

The weekly market...

The public park...

as well as the central church and the bustling cafes.

Our container from France has just arrived, and our doors are closed starting Friday, November 24th while we unpack! From the villages of France to your own homes, the journey these treasures make in finding their place in the next generation is always such a mysterious one. We at French Metro look forward to showing you our latest finds when we re-open our doors on Friday, December 1st at 10:00 am.
