We have subscribed to Maisons Cote Ouest for nearly twenty years. It is one of several magazines highlighting the lifestyles of Brittany, a part of France we love to visit. Brittany is home to hundreds of miles of stunning coastline, an artistic heritage, a unique music, a distinctive cuisine and a burgeoning fashion, design and style consciousness. Through the years, however, the editors of Maisons Cote Ouest have virtually abandoned their dedication to this unique region of France. More and more articles feature American and British themes. In fact, the current issue features New York City on its cover and on many inside pages. Flipping through any recent issue, Maisons Cote Ouest will remind you of Martha Stewart Living. If you really treasure the culture and heritage of Brittany, look for Bretagne Magazine and Ar Men Magazine, both published in Brittany and available, at a cost comparable to Maisons Cote Ouest, to American subscribers.
Even though I don't speak French, I LOVE this magazine too. Thick glossy pages, usually about 200 pages per issue. Gorgeous photography focus is on French country-style, both home interiors and gardens, as well as some highlighted commercial properties. Reasonable number of ads... and even the ads have beautiful pictures.I have had this magazine before and it is beautifully done. It is all in FRENCH so if you really want to read it you need to speak French. However, the photography, etc. is wonderful.
