Celeb home tour: Rent Julia Child's charming French country cottage
What better way to master the art of French cooking than by renting this culinary legend's iconic Parisian home.
Fans of Julia Child will be happy to learn that the charming French cottage she once owned with her husband Paul is now available to rent through Airbnb. For $825 per night you'll have access to the entire home and more importantly to Julia's famous kitchen. This includes priceless kitchen utensils once owned and used by the culinary legend herself.
Built in 1963 "La Pitchoune" (or "La Peetch" as Julia called it) is nestled just outside the town of Grasse in France. The cottage comfortably sleeps six and includes three-bathrooms, garden terrace, outdoor pool and an on-site concierge.
Ready to enjoy cooking, eating and the beautiful French countryside? Then put down your copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, grab your apron and get ready to put Meryl Streep to shame. Bon appetit!

Julia's kitchen
Except for the stove, the kitchen remains exactly as Julia left it. Modeled after the kitchen in her Cambridge, Massachusetts home a replica can also be found at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.

The kitchen pegboard
The original outlines Paul drew for Julia can still be seen on the kitchen pegboard. Imagine cooking dinner using some of Julia's original utensils (which are also still in the kitchen).

The red bedroom
We love the gorgeous Chinoiserie-print fabric found throughout this bedroom, including the window coverings and on the footboard.
