#004 Trip to buy antiques in southern France
During my stay, I visited many places and met many people. There are so many things I want to tell you, but I would like to introduce some of the places and events that left a particularly strong impression on me. The main building of the owner of Maison Dot is a stone building. Really nice. I want to live in a country without earthquakes and build a house like this! Terrace outside the room. It's a small space, but it's an indispensable place for French people who spend a lot of time outside! During my stay this time, I...

Do you like this shop? This is a cleaning shop, not a boutique. The clothes lined up are so beautiful that you might stop in your tracks.
