A photographic portrait of the French province of Normandy, this volume is the first in a series of lifestyle books which aim to present the best in French interior design and evoke the personality of each of the great regions of France. The authors look at the workshops of some of the world's finest craftsmen - lacemakers, bellmakers and coppersmiths - and the typical food and dishes of Normandy. They examine a few local houses in detail, and conclude with a useful guide to shopping in the province, with suggestions on places to stay and regional restaurants and cafes.
