The French pastoral style originated from the idyllic countryside of southern France, represented by Provence in southern France, which makes people feel the bright scenery of southern France. The pastoral style advocates "returning to nature", and aesthetically respects "natural beauty". Hundreds of years of wine culture, self-produced and self-sold French post-agricultural modern farms have a profound impact on the French pastoral style.
The pastoral style strives to express a leisurely, comfortable and natural pastoral life. In rustic style, roughness and breakage are allowed, because only then is it closer to nature.
