What can the French Alps teach us about luxury real estate in Northwest Montana?

In the new edition of Storied: Life & Style from Forbes Global Properties, design pioneer Jocelyne Sibuet reflects on the philosophy that helped redefine mountain luxury: authenticity, natural materials, wellness and spaces that feel deeply connected to their surroundings.
It is a philosophy that feels right at home in Montana.
