Celebrating the 25th anniversary of this iconic and elegant desk calendar, the rose- and lavender-hued slipcase of this 2013 celebration edition features a gorgeously detailed classic Provencal toile pattern from Olivades called “Les Quatre Saisons”—the four seasons. Vintage typography and evocative photographs enhance the captivating design within the calendar, with each of the week-at-a-glance spreads offering an intimate vignette of the French countryside, including gardens, private homes, villages, and inspiring landscapes. This year’s edition features a visit to a luminous stone farmhouse surrounded by lavender fields near Saint-R#65533;my-de-Provence; a sunlit drive through the hidden coves and harbors of the C#65533;tes d’Armor, Brittany’s rocky northern coast; a snowy winter’s day in Paris; and an afternoon discovering the Potager du Roi, Louis XIV’s extraordinary vegetable garden at the Palace of Versailles. Also included are lush four-color endpapers, generous space for jotting daily notes, a stitched-in ribbon to mark each week, and decorative address pages.
