In this charming and evocative book, Alexandra d’Arnoux provides portraits of country houses where decorative details combine with family traditions to create a memorable and timeless atmosphere.Family Houses in the Country takes us to gracious retreats in the woods and hillsides, real homes imbued with the spirit of the families who delight in living with them. Author Alexandra d’Arnoux and photographer Gilles de Chabaneix travel through the United States, England, Scotland, Italy and France to find remarkable houses with beautiful, comfortable interiors. We visit a family homestead in California’s Napa Valley, a place of eternal summer. We experience the isolated, strangely welcoming manor of Kerdaoualas on a hill in Brittany. And we find that an architecturally intriguing home in Shropshire once housed a medieval abbey.
