Si Mazouz, curator of the popular blog FRENCHBYDESIGN, introduces a dozen sophisticated French families in her debut book, How the French Live to engage and inspire.

Si shares each family’s personality and values through the lens of their uniquely styled homes. The aesthetic is clean and unpretentious; décor elements are eclectic–reflecting each family’s Frenchness regardless of where they live. Each chapter closes with a family recipe to prolong the warmth of the hospitality they’ve shared.

This is the new paragon of a generation living the French lifestyle in France, Morocco, and the U.S.
