French windows, French beans, French grey, French horns, French knots and French polish. These are just a few of the things we assume are French. However through the power of the internet, we are in a lucky position to purchase genuine French articles.

France has always been known as the country of "love" (ask any Frenchman!). In fact "romance" is nearer the truth. This is because the Romance language is spoken in the south east of France, in the old province of Provence. Provence is a district of France east of the lower river Rhone, originally a Roman province, being the first to be established outside Italy. Hence the roman influence on the language, calling it the "Romance" language.

Provence is known for its many crafts, pottery being one of the most popular, and unique to the area. Items found in homes in Province, are rare in other homes in different parts of France.

Because of its romantic link, many items are sought after - especially the pottery. Collectors of genuine Provencal items are in luck, as these can be purchased via the internet. We have Boutiques that specialise ...
... in collectables from Provence at very competitive prices. Items to give your kitchen that "French look", or items to convert your dining room into a continental eating room. I does not take much to give it that special look you are looking for. Sometimes, just the odd item of small furniture can enhance any room, and is sure to be a conversation opener when guests call.

Whether you are a romantic and want to adorn your home with "romantic" articles, or whether you like to collect different types of pottery, there is something to suit you. So if you want to put a little romance in your life, start collecting Provencal items, and make sure they can be seen through your French windows!
