Julia Childs house in France front entry.
The house was on the market for the first time when The Johnson Family bought it.
Back in the 1990s Kathie Alex turned the house into a cooking school and now, the home also has cooking classes that run from April through June and then September through October.
In the off-season, Julia Childs house in France, La Pitchoune, is for rent through AirBnb.
Isn’t it interesting how colorful Julia Childs house decor is? It is like her somewhat eccentric personality.
If you rent this marvelous famous home and plan to cook in the kitchen, please realize there is a camera that rolls while you are in the kitchen to keep watch on the priceless kitchen gadgets and tools.
Julia Child house –
the Kitchen pegboard Paul, Julia’s husband made that organized their kitchen so famously. Be sure to notice the shape of the kitchen tools drawn on the pegboard so the tools could easily be put back in the right place.
The NY Times shared that this simple little informal house became Paul and Julia’s link back to France. She and Paul made a handshake deal to lease a potato patch from the Farmhouse property of Simca Beck and her husband Jean Fischbacher. The Child’s would build a simple home on the land and when they no longer had any use for the house, they would return it to Simca and Jean.
They called their vacation cottage, La Pitchounce that means the little one in French.
The pool and guest house are add-ons. The concierge lives in the guest house and will take care of renters needs and be as visible or not as guests desire.
Thank you for making Housekaboodle part of your day!
Lots of Celebrity homes to see like the above Bea Arthur Country Estate and
Jeri Ryan’s House in Southern California.
I was impressed with the way of decorating here. It’s unbelievable, especially in the kitchen- just like a supermarket mall selling kitchen stuff. This house is an ideal place to spend vacation with family.
wow, wow, wow, amazing. Great, very great. Beautiful, very beautiful, very strange, very creative. An ideal place to relax, rest for families on vacation. Space is very romantic, comfortable furniture and modern. I love the photo double bed pink. Have a good trip!
Love the place! So warm and beautiful. Have a nice trip, Sue!
I haven’t seen a post on your blog or any IG pics lately.
Hope everything is okay.
Great Pictures..
I really like this place. If anyone spends their time at there vacations, they will feel just like their own home.
Interesting!!!
I loved Julia, and of course the famous Saturday night live skit is forever etched in my mind. lol
That kitchen makes me dizzy though. Way too much stuff out in the open, although I appreciate why she designed it that way.

yeah, I would not like all the tools out like that either. Her husband crafted the wall for her drawing the shape of each kitchen tool so it could go back in its rightful place.
Wouldn’t that be a fun vacation!
Since you are not the cook, you could watch Steve doing his version of Julia from the green sofa and then he could paint the French countryside – LOL
I love the fact that there’s a camera in the kitchen! What a stunning home. I still watch Julia on TV every week. There was no one like her and her home is as stunning and amazing as she was.
I love her cozy space. So nice! I really liked Julia. I loved the movie too when it came out. I wore pearls for a long time after that! lol!
Oh my, that is so very cool that you wore pearls after the movie came out. Thanks Suzie
