This is my little corner of paradise on the Atlantic coast, between Bordeaux and La Rochelle. It’s a family home in the heart of nature, where the only sounds are the chirping of crickets and the crackling of the parasol pines. Like a summer breeze, Les Tamaris carries the scent of the everlastings and acacias that grow along the footpaths leading down to the sea. Francis Kurkdjian: This candle, part of the Maison Francis Kurkdjian "Home sweet homes" collection, is presented in an elegant porcelain biscuit jar from Limoges, with the interior color applied by hand.
