Summary

Susannah and Hugh Cameron are two Australian antique curators based in the sunny fields of Provence.

Their initial interest of street brocantes and finding the perfect French decor for their home soon turned into a passionate search for the most exquisite French antiques and the creation of their online boutique, Chez Pluie.

You can discover their entire French antique collection on their website and keep up to date with them on their Instagram @chezpluie.
