Ivy-Covered Rustic French Cottage at Golden Hour

A picturesque rustic cottage in rural France with whitewashed walls cloaked in lush ivy. Bright red wooden shutters frame the windows; terracotta roof tiles reflect warm light. A cobblestone path winds to a weathered wooden door, with window boxes of geraniums and herbs along the wall. A vintage bicycle leans against the ivy-covered wall. Lavender, thyme, and wildflowers border a small garden, while distant rolling hills and a meadow stretch into the background under a clear blue sky. Soft golden hour sunlight creates long shadows and warm tones. The image is hyper-realistic with painterly touches, natural color grading, and subtle film grain; camera at eye level with a slight tilt, 50mm lens, shallow depth of field, rich textures and colors.
