Eric, founder and editor of La Maison du Sud

Eric is a French interiors enthusiast originally from the South of France and now based in Scandinavia, where he has lived for many years. La Maison du Sud grew from his interest in the meeting point between Mediterranean warmth and Scandinavian restraint.

Through the site, Eric shares practical ideas for creating calm, welcoming homes shaped by natural materials, soft light, balanced proportions and timeless details. The aim is not to copy a single regional style, but to help readers bring a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere into a real, lived-in home.
