INTERIORS THAT ALWAYS INSPIRE It’s not the first time I’m sharing @michal.yaniv images, because every collection she creates instantly makes me want to rethink my own space. I love the way she mixes textures, wood, plants, and those signature touches of green that bring so much life into each room. Everything feels calm, creative, and effortlessly inspiring at the same time. And that art wall in the first photo… I’m completely obsessed. It honestly makes me want to create one somewhere in my studio, but the problem is… I’m seriously running out of walls for all my ideas. Which atmosphere speaks to you the most? #InteriorDesign #HomeInspiration #DreamSpaces #DesignLovers #ModernInteriors

2 DAYS BROCANTE DROP COMING Last brocante drop (except papers) was almost a month and a half ago. Since then, I’ve done some huge markets like Barjac and Chambord and found so many amazing items. I’ll be back with a special drop spread over tomorrow and Wednesday!! Be ready! Here is a little preview of the latest finds! Not sure yet what I’ll propose — everything will be decided when organizing the sale! Can’t wait to prepare it all and rediscover everything I found. #brocante #vintagefinds #antiquemarket #fleamarketfinds #treasurehunt

WAITING TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIGHT This weekend, with @galeriemichellagarde around and our visit to the @festivaldudessin still on my mind, I found myself thinking again about a very special collection that has been patiently waiting for years to be brought back into the light. Some time ago, while wandering through a flea market, I came across a box filled with sketchbooks, studies, and research notebooks belonging to Henri Pringuet. A completely unexpected discovery — and honestly, a fascinating one. Pringuet, a French painter and drawing teacher active during the late 19th and early 20th century, was known for his portraits and landscapes, often filled with that subtle, atmospheric quality so typical of the Belle Époque. He was also art teacher in @villecarcassonne and have art at @musee_carcassonne . Going through these notebooks feels almost like stepping directly into the artist’s studio: unfinished ideas, studies of light, silhouettes, compositions in progress… fragments of a creative mind at work. Ever since finding them, I’ve kept telling myself that one day I would do something with this collection. An exhibition? A book? Prints? A digital archive? I still haven’t decided yet. For now, these notebooks simply continue to wait quietly, holding an incredible story and presence of their own. And maybe that’s part of their beauty too — some treasures take their time before finding their way back into the world. #ArtDiscovery #HenriPringuet #ArtistSketchbooks #BelleEpoque #foundtreasures

THE RIGHT MOMENT Yesterday, I had the chance to witness the departure of these magnificent cars completely by accident. In fact, I was focused on the flea market when my daughter called me and said, “Look, look!” I replied, “No, I can’t, I might miss some good finds at the brocante .” But then I heard the sound of the engines… I walked over, and I definitely didn’t regret it. They all looked more beautiful than the others. You really need to have a true passion to maintain these magnificent machines! I found out it was the @trophee.potherat ! Sometimes, it’s simply about being there at the right moment. I rarely go to the @brocantevilleneuvelesavignon that early in the morning, but since @galeriemichellagarde was there and wanted to enjoy the @festivaldudessin too, we said we should go very early. And in the end, we were there at exactly the right time!! It’s all these little decisions that lined up, and that’s how I ended up being there at just the right time. It’s kind of crazy, when you think about it. #VoituresDeCollection #PassionAutomobile #FestivalAuto #BrocanteVilleneuve #aubonmoment

TOURIST IN MY OWN CITY It’s always when someone comes to visit me that I truly realize how lucky I am to live in a place like Arles and the Camargue. For the past two days, my friend @galeriemichellagarde has been visiting us for the @festivaldudessin of Arles. It was the perfect opportunity to slow down a little, wander through the city, visit exhibitions, rediscover the museums, and return to the places I love sharing with others like @la_valise_arlesienne . This morning, we went for a tour through the @brocantevilleneuvelesavignon . Since it was a public holiday, it already feels like the weekend is over… but there’s still this Sunday left. Judging by the weather, it will probably be dedicated to tidying up and getting ready for the next sales. #Arles #Camargue #FestivalDuDessin #Brocante #SudDeLaFrance
