French Country – charming elegance

After 15 years as Toronto’s ‘go-to’ destination for southern France style, ‘French Country’ moved to Main Street Picton last year. The store’s classic wares are artfully put together by owner Viola Jull.  The feeling in the store is eclectic, casual elegance and romantic – often with a touch of whimsy.  Vi’s philosophy is to select beautiful and unique items: interesting light fixtures, framed prints, pewter and crystal table items, wire works, gorgeous linens, lovely french-milled soaps, handcrafted jewelery, ‘Bee’ glassware from France, lavender sachets, Parisian perfumes, kitchen linens and an assortment of items for wine lovers. This Christmas she has brought in a wonderful array of items – tree and table decorations, candle holders, champagne flutes and linens –  to make your holiday sparkle! ‘French County’ is open every day from 10:30am to 5pm. Come in and check it out!

About Viola Jull

Vi’s early professional experience involved working as a freelance stylist for magazine photography.  Later, she became a buyer and set decorator for film and television. In 1988, French Country Antiques Inc. opened in the Toronto Design Centre supplying quality french antiques and accessories to the “trade” – designers and their clients. In 2010, Vi came to the County for a visit and fell in love with the place and people. When she found a ‘store for rent’ sign on Main Street Picton, she decided to move her home and business to Picton.
