It's a gorgeous French lifestyle journal focusing on interiors, travel, art and food.
I used to collect them though they cost a fortune in the US.
A perfect source of creative inspiration. Give it a look next time you see it. They are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. Plus there is a Coté Est, Coté Ouest and a Paris version.
Every spring they hold big fairs first in St.Tropez, then in Aix.
Voila!
The fair/salon is like the magazine, full of color.
Rich pattern and texture.
In town but this scene reminded me so much of the magazine.
You can always depend on the most beautiful shades of azure blue in Coté Sud. All photos here down from the current issue.
Always lots of lush water views.
Interiors of Cobalt and turquoise. It must be refreshing to live here.
Endless infinity pools and of course the great wide sea to vicariously dive into.
I adore this magazine - always so many super ideas. I have a good friend that lives in the perfect house, just near Avignon and it's a photographer's (and artist's) dream to see all the details that are in the house, such as bird cages, lavender. Even the toilet is decorated with style! Each time I'm inspired to do something like it up here around Paris, it just doesn't fit. That last photo of the swimming pool just screams another life. Wow!
I have truly enjoyed your photos of Provence the past several days. I have traveled from St. Paul, MN. to Provence three times now; last summer visiting mutual friend Corey Amaro. It really tugs at my heart seeing your photos of everything I love about the south of France.
Those blues♥ And I love long dresses.. Why does everyone..almost always look like they pull it off so well together? Seems I can only ever do that..at home..under the best of circumstances..out of a suitcase. I am a zero.Minus zero..

ReplyDeleteThe last photo is the sea I think. Too big for a pool and little waves.
DeleteI don't think she is wearing a stitch...just noticed. I have never done that!

ReplyDeleteCorey's house could be in Coté Sud. She has a wonderful eye and touch. I can do zip with real objects. No sense for it at all...
DeleteI always liked the Coté Quest the most. I love seeing these photos, almost as good as being there
ReplyDeleteEnjoy ... Well, you always do !!!

I love the blues, Carol! They have a beautiful shade to them; tropical, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI fall in love again every time I see those blues..where's my paintbox?
DeleteI loved the colors of this blog. But especially the dresses shown in the photo. Any idea of the name of the vendor at Maison cote sud?
ReplyDeleteROSA BAGH of Bordeaux
DeleteLovely stuff!
All I need is a little of that wild, wonderful blue in my life and I'm happy forever.
ReplyDeleteI am personally blaming your June sketch for the four pints of ice cream I bought yesterday and the resulting body changes that come. Just sayin'...
