Our first edition of My French Country Home Magazine 2023 – our January/February issue – is here!
Welcome 2023! This is our fifth year of proudly publishing the MFCH magazine, and we are so grateful to have you with us – we couldn’t have gotten here without you, our loyal readers and subscribers.
At MFCH we are fortunate to work with many talented photographers, and for this first issue, we are thrilled to kick off this new year with an astonishing portfolio shot by photographer Michel Joly that reveals the beauty of French vineyards in the frost. We also share two gorgeous gardens with you, shot in breathtaking detail by Eric Sander and Franck Schmitt.
Inside, we invite you into homes in Chantilly and Provence, where French interior designers have remodeled homes of all sizes: from an abandoned caretaker’s cottage to a home carved into the rocks!
Our “Discovering Guide” takes us to the Perche region of Normandy, where the profusion of charming stone villages, detour-worthy restaurants and remarkable gardens have attracted many artists and creators. Our “Artisans of France” highlight is Maison Pichon — one of France’s oldest and most sought-after names in ceramics.
On the table, we are still looking for comfort food at this time of the year, so we share Louise Pickford’s method of making fondue and raclette, as well as recipes for homemade brioche and croissants.
We hope you love this first issue of 2023, and we look forward to accompanying you through the year ahead. Below, take a peek at just a few of our features, and click below to flip through a full preview…

Home at Last
A travel-obsessed family has finally settled on a home base on the heights of Aix-en-Provence. In a beautifully redesigned ancient farmhouse, take a tour around this dream home in the South of France overlooking fields of olive trees.
