When I think of the South of France a place I dream of visiting (definitely on the bucket list) I think of white washed walls, carefully picked pieces and everything is so very chic. I found this lovely photo called Breakfast in Paris and it just sets the tone of what France feels like to me. How inspiring I would love to wake up in the morning to this everyday.
