When American Textile Designer Jennifer Black and her Professor husband, Vijay left their Paris apartment - and a host of Spring Break visitors - for the peace and quiet of Maison Jacaranda, deep in the French countryside.
She included it in her blog Studio Refrain - a place for designers, makers and retailers to connect, be inspired.
Here’s some of what she wrote.

“The weekend was a much needed respite for us. Not just an escape from the influx of Paris guests (again: we love you all!), but an escape from the condensed landscape and sped-up rhythms - the “hustle and bustle” - of urban life. Paris is incredible, but when you get to spend some time in the countryside you understand why so many Parisians flee for weekends and vacations.”
