French cooking begins with what’s already in the c French cooking begins with what’s already in the cupboard.

Dijon mustard, lentils, coarse salt, cornichons, and bouillon — simple staples that make everyday meals more flavorful without complication.

Comment PANTRY if you’d like more essential ingredients found in French kitchens (including the fridge!).

It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t felt it It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t felt it.

Nothing dramatic has to happen.
You’re just there.

Walking. Sitting. Existing.

And something in you softens.

Paris doesn’t feel unfamiliar.
It feels like a part of you that was waiting.

Follow me @monpetitfour if you’re a Francophile who adores all things French and France! 🇫🇷
Spring is the perfect time to revisit the pieces t Spring is the perfect time to revisit the pieces that define your wardrobe.

A structured blazer. Cropped jeans. A woven bag and silk scarf.
Timeless staples that return year after year, bringing a quiet sense of polish to even the simplest days.

French style has always been less about trends and more about building a wardrobe you can rely on season after season. 🇫🇷

Comment SPRING and I’ll send you my post on the classic French girl staples every spring wardrobe should include.

A French café breakfast is simple, consistent, and A French café breakfast is simple, consistent, and quietly satisfying. It’s one of my favorite things to go to a French café for. 

It’s the same familiar offerings you’ll find across Paris and beyond — hot coffee, something from the boulangerie, and a few thoughtful additions that make the experience feel complete without ever being excessive.

It’s less about abundance and more about balance — and it’s surprisingly easy to recreate at home. 🇫🇷

Comment CROISSANT if you’d like the link to my video class where I teach you how to make authentic croissants from scratch. 🥐

Follow @monpetitfour for French recipes, café rituals, and everyday inspiration inspired by life in France.
In France, apéro can be as simple or as elaborate In France, apéro can be as simple or as elaborate as you like.

Sometimes it’s just a kir royale, a few olives, saucisson, and radishes with butter in the spring. A quiet pause before dinner.

Other times, it becomes an apéro dînatoire — a more abundant spread that replaces the evening meal entirely.

Both are part of the ritual. Both are unmistakably French. 🇫🇷

Comment APERO if you’d like my guide to creating a beautiful apéro dînatoire at home.

Rushing is a habit most of us didn’t choose. We i Rushing is a habit most of us didn’t choose.

We inherited it.

But when you step into Paris, something shifts.
You start walking slower.
You start noticing more.
You stop filling every quiet moment.

And you realize…maybe “doing nothing” isn’t laziness.
Maybe it’s wisdom.

I wrote an entire piece on what the French understand about the art of doing nothing.

Comment ART and I’ll send it your way.
Polish isn’t about doing more. It’s about refining Polish isn’t about doing more.
It’s about refining what’s already there.

Timeless hues. One intentional accessory. Effortless hair.
Details that feel considered, never overdone.

That quiet restraint is what makes it feel so French. 🇫🇷✨

And if you’re curious about how to practice this unhurried, intentional energy via a French girl morning routine, comment MORNING and I’ll send you the article. ☕️

“Girl dinner,” but make it French. 🇫🇷 Simple ingr “Girl dinner,” but make it French. 🇫🇷

Simple ingredients. No elaborate prep.
Bread or crackers, good cheese, something fresh, something salty, and a small sweet to finish.

It’s easy. It’s unfussy.
And somehow, it still feels chic.

This is how the French turn a minimal meal into something intentional…balanced, beautiful, and enjoyed slowly.
