Ivy-Covered French Cottage with Red Shutters

Photorealistic scene of a picturesque rustic cottage in rural France: weathered limestone walls draped with ivy, bright red shutters on all windows, a terracotta-tiled roof, and a sturdy wooden door with brass knocker. A cobblestone path leads to the doorway; a vintage bicycle leans against a flowering box of red geraniums. Ivy climbs the wall, lavender and thyme grow in a small garden, and a low wooden gate frames the scene. In the distance, rolling fields and soft hills under a warm golden hour sky. The air is tranquil and nostalgic, with detailed textures of stone, wood, ivy, and flowers, rendered in painterly realism with gentle lighting.
