Magnifique Marion

French actress Marion Cotillard is the August Vogue cover girl.  She's promoting the Dark Knight Rises but while I was at the Angelika to see Farewell, My Queen (which is great, btw!) I saw a preview for one of her French firms, Little White Lies.  It was written and directed by her boyfriend and baby daddy Guillaume Canet, who actually used to be married to Diane Kruger who stars as Marie-Antoinette in Farewell, My Queen. I definitely suggest seeing them all.

La Bastide de Marie

Remember that fabulous Provence farmhouse where Marion Cotillard was languishing in the July 2010 issue of Vogue magazine?  Well, turns out that it's really a hotel called La Bastide de Marie.  Not only can you languish there but you can also relax at the spa, walk the gardens and enjoy the haute cuisine.  We not be able to look like a French movie star but it's nice to know we can at least feel like one! 

July in Provence

I am swooning over the photos of Marion Cotillard in the July 2010 issue of Vogue! Mario Testino shot the stunning French star and Oscar winner in La Bastide de Marie in the South of France and both Marion and Provence look stunning! Makes me want to book a trip immediately. To see more, check out the behind the scenes video online or pick up the new issue of Vogue! C'est magnifique!
