PERFECTION IN PROVENCE

The countdown has begun and I'm positively beside myself with anticipation! An invitation for a girl's trip to Provence in April? Mon Dieu- was this my lucky day or what??? Ginny Magher, designer extraordinaire, and her husband Craig, fell in love with a property in Paradou, Mas de Baraquet, tucked in the Alpilles near Saint-Remy. A labor of love ensued over the next two years to restore the bastide or country manor house with architect Bruno LaFourchade to its previous glory, while Bruno's wife Dominique redesigned the gardens. The end result is impeccable as both Ginny and Craig's love for this romantic farmhouse is apparent in each and every detail of this remarkable renovation! Ginny is the consummate hostess and as fun as she is beautiful....oh la la...joie de vivre!!!
