Summary

In modern France, as in years past, village life revolves around local shops and cafes, the railway station and the post office -- all the places where people meet to exchange news and gossip. Marie-France Boyer's vibrant portrait of life in rural France today uncovers the traditions that live on: the cafe that doubles as a grocer's, the hardware store packed with equipment for farmers and fishermen, and the small hotel whose formal rooms are frivolously decorated for local wedding receptions.

Author Biography

Marie-France Boyer is a freelance journalist and the Paris editor for The World of Interiors magazine. She is the author of several books, including The French Cafe and Really Rural.
