Our Story
What began in 2010 as Sharon Santoni’s personal blog — a heartfelt window into her life in the Normandy countryside — quickly blossomed into a global community of readers captivated by her authentic voice and love for the French art de vivre.
From that humble beginning grew a vibrant, multifaceted brand which now includes an expertly curated subscription box, a thoughtfully sourced online boutique, luxury travel experiences across France, and finally, this magazine — a project born from Sharon’s desire to share even more beauty, inspiration, and insider knowledge about her adopted country.
Today, My French Country Home Magazine continues that mission with creativity, curiosity, and a deep affection for the French lifestyle. We’re here to bring you the France you dream of — intimate, elegant, warm, and wonderfully real.
OUR TEAM
Sharon Santoni
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
British by origin but French at heart, Sharon Santoni first came to France as a student, fell in love with France and with a cute French boy and never looked back. She has since made her life here. With her husband, they raised their family of four children in their home in the countryside of Normandy. It was as she watched her children grow up and leave home that she felt a vital need to reinvent herself. Without any formal training or experience, she created a blog in 2010 to share her love of France and authentic French country lifestyle. Her style, vision, elegance and intuition quickly captured an international audience, leading Sharon to publish two bestselling books, guide luxury private tours around France, create an online business, and launch My French Country Home Magazine.
