Country Life June 24 2015 previews the latest in luxury and admires the mysterious carp.


This week in Country Life we tell the story of the Château de Malmaison, the remarkable country retreat created by the Empress Joséphine, we investigate the challenges facing today’s boulangers, we visit a family who continue the tradition of Beaufort cheese production in the high French Alps, we learn to respect the many tiny creatures that like to take up summer residence with us and we learn to cook with blueberries.
