Photo above of a home in Châterlauren, Brittany that I thought was sweet. They obviously like jellyfish. This week's links of what I'm loving are unique and I hope you find, interesting. So grab your favourite beverage and take a moment to yourself as you read this week's links.
A perfect little holiday cottage in Saint Nicolas du Pélem, Brittany - Typical French house with small garden in centre of town. Perfect for a drop-in-stay-and-leave style holiday home or a neat home to relocate too. Easy to access beaches and the coastline, and close to larger charming towns. Needs some prettying up but the location is good and the town has all basic requirements. An affordable town holiday home.

Immerse yourself in the world of fashion crafts at the Palais Galliera - This week I've just been tidying up my embroidery, crotchet and knitting patterns into separate tubs, and as it happens I find this exhibition. Coincidence or something else?! The Palais Galliera is showcasing the arts and crafts that enhance clothing and fashion accessories through three successive exhibitions. The first, entitled ‘Weaving, embroidering, embellishing. The Crafts and Trades of Fashion’, is devoted to the decoration of clothing and accessories through weaving, printing, embroidery, lace, feathers and more, from the 18th century to the present day.
Napoleon, The Immersive Epic Exhibition at Les Docks Village, Marseille - Experience living through the First Empire as you're virtually immersed (VR headsets) alongside the legend that is Napoleon Bonaparte as he faces battles, charges with his cavalry, and eventually makes his final journey to Saint Helena.
French Market Basket with two handles - I absolutely love my market baskets, and I have quite a few, as they are so beautiful while being incredibly useful. Pop at the end of the bed for spare towels and linen, tidy up kids toys, or place near the front door for a welcome look with freshly picked flowers. In my latest post French Market Baskets: A Timeless Tradition we share the story of baskets including a bit of history, who uses them, how to decorate with them and a bunch of photos of baskets taken from my travels across France.
