I’m not sure how I started following French public relations executive and event planner Francoise Dumas on Instagram. It might have been from her interior decorator Pierre Passabon or his partner of Jacques Grange. Or maybe it was because she is based in Paris and I get glimpses of my favorite city. Regardless of the reason, it was lovely to see her garden apartment near the Parc Monceau featured on ArchitecturalDigest.com. This part of the 8th arrondissement or huitième is home to very chic and aristocratic residents but this is a more down to earth yet elegant apartment that often plays host to friends. The pièce de résistance is the garden designed by Louis Benech that you can often see in her posts. Another reason why I love following Francoise.
