Des villes aux villages pittoresques et tout le reste, la Provence a quelque chose pour tout le monde. Nagez dans les eaux cristallines de la calanque de Sormiou à Marseille. Conduisez avec le haut vers le bas à travers les champs de lavande à Valensole. Goûtez à une bouchée de fougasse tout juste sortie du four, un classique provençal. Admirez les magnifiques chevaux blancs de Camargue originaires de la région. Située dans le sud de la France, la Provence occupe une position unique pour être un mélange culturel de la Méditerranée. Les monuments romains dominent toujours à partir du 1er siècle après JC aux côtés des châteaux de l'époque médiévale - un héritage varié égayé par les mimosas et les cyprès indigènes.

Peut-être que la région est réputée pour sa capacité d’inspiration, elle accueille une pléthore de festivals tels que la Rencontre d’Arles, le Festival d’Avignon, le Festival d’Aix-en-Provence et plus encore, tous célébrant les arts. Les artistes qui ont fait l'éloge de la lumière provençale unique sont Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse et Picasso. Alexandre Dumas et Jean Giono font partie des écrivains attirés pour écrire à l'ombre des platanes.

From towns to quaint villages and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of the Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive with the top down through the lavender fields in Valensole. Taste a bite of fougasse fresh from the oven, a Provencal classic. Admire the magnificent white Camargue horses native to the region. Located in the south of France, Provence occupies a unique position for being a cultural blend of the Mediterranean. Roman monuments still dominate from the 1st century AD alongside castles from medieval times - a varied heritage brightened up by native mimosas and cypresses.

Perhaps the region is renowned for its capacity for inspiration, it hosts a plethora of festivals such as the Rencontre d'Arles, the Festival d'Avignon, the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and more, all celebrating Arts. Artists who have praised the unique Provençal light are Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono are among the writers drawn to write in the shade of the plane trees.

Surplombant la mer Égée, une charmante chaîne de quartiers côtiers forme la Riviera d’Athènes, une évasion sereine de l’activité constante du centre-ville. Une sélection d'hôtels haut de gamme borde les plages immaculées jusqu'au point le plus au sud de la péninsule Attique. Le Four Seasons Astir Palace rénové, avec une histoire de logement de dignitaires étrangers et de stars de cinéma des années 1960, est l'hôtel le plus luxueux d'Athènes, peut-être même de toute la Grèce. La boîte de nuit Island ramène le glamour et l'effervescence des clubs bouzouki du XXe siècle qui rappellent des noms tels que Melina Mercouri et Stavros Niarchos.

Athène connaît un renouveau - dans l'art, la vie nocturne et le design. Pour une métropole constamment associée au passé, les progrès modernes du développement et de la culture sont parfois négligés au profit des ruines et des artefacts de l'Antiquité. Alors qu'en fait, la juxtaposition ne fait que renforcer la beauté des deux. La Riviera d'Athènes met l'ancien monde à côté du nouveau monde et une compréhension plus profonde de cette ancienne capitale émerge. Avec un pied dans le passé et un pied dans le futur; accès à la fois à l'électricité de la vie urbaine et à la tranquillité d'une station balnéaire, Athènes ne peut pas être définie en termes simples. Il suffit d'en faire l'expérience par lui-même.

Overlooking the Aegean Sea, a charming string of coastal neighborhoods form the Athens Riviera, a serene escape from the constant activity in the city’s center. A selection of high-end hotels lines the pristine stretch of beaches down to the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula. The revamped Four Seasons Astir Palace, with a history of housing foreign dignitaries and film stars of the 1960s, is the most luxurious hotel in Athens, perhaps even in all of Greece. The night club, Island, is bringing back the glamour and excitement of the twentieth century bouzouki clubs reminiscent of names such as Melina Mercouri and Stavros Niarchos.

Athens is experiencing a revival—in art, night life and design. For a metropolis constantly associated with the past, the modern strides in development and culture are sometimes overlooked in favor of the ruins and artifacts from antiquity. When in fact, the juxtaposition only enhances the beauty of both. Athens Riviera puts the old-world beside the new-world and a deeper understanding of this ancient capital emerges. With one foot in the past and one foot in the future; access to both the electricity of city life and the tranquility of a beach side resort, Athens cannot be defined in simple terms. One just has to experience it for themselves.

Il a été dit que Marrakech éveille tous les sens. Que ce soit voir les carreaux de zellige complexes; sentir les diverses épices vendues dans les souks; entendre l'appel à la prière émaner des mosquées voisines; toucher le cuir souple utilisé pour fabriquer une paire de babouches (sandales en cuir); dégustant un tajine savoureux, Marrakech ne manque jamais d'exciter. Située juste à l'ouest des montagnes de l'Atlas, la ville est habitée par des agriculteurs berbères depuis des siècles. Elle a été surnommée la «ville ocre» en raison de la prolifération des bâtiments en grès rouge et des murs rouges de la ville, qui entourent désormais la médina, qui abrite Jemaa el-Fnaa, l'une des places les plus fréquentées d'Afrique.

Marrakech regorge de culture et inspire les visiteurs depuis des décennies. D'Yves Saint Laurent à Talitha Getty, de Winston Churchill à Mick Jagger, Marrakech a attiré de grandes icônes inspirées par son esprit éternel ainsi que par sa douce et belle vie. La relation intime d’Yves Saint Laurent avec cette ville a conduit à l’ouverture d’un musée dédié à son œuvre légendaire. Le Festival international du film de Marrakech, annuel, attire une foule importante. Les musées abondent, présentant des arts marocains, des photographies, des tapis et l'esthétique du design andalou qui imprègne l'architecture de la ville. L'hôtel La Mamounia, ouvert en 1923, offre une histoire riche, qui comprend l'hébergement de clients tels que Winston Churchill. El Fenn de Vanessa Branson est une collection de riads traditionnels qui forment un superbe hôtel de caractère. Il existe d'innombrables façons de s'immerger dans la culture de Marrakech, mais le meilleur endroit pour commencer est peut-être avec un simple verre de thé à la menthe.

It has been said that Marrakech awakens all of the senses. Whether it is seeing the intricate zellige tilework; smelling the various spices sold at the souks; hearing the call to prayer emanate from the nearby mosques; touching the supple leather used to make a pair of babouches (leather sandals); tasting a flavorful tagine, Marrakech never fails to excite. Located just west of the Atlas Mountains, the city has been inhabited by Berber farmers for centuries. It has been dubbed the “Ochre City” because of the proliferation of red sandstone buildings and the red city walls, which now enclose the Medina, home to Jemaa el-Fnaa, one of the busiest squares in Africa.

Marrakech overflows with culture and has been inspiring visitors for decades. From Yves Saint Laurent to Talitha Getty, Winston Churchill to Mick Jagger, Marrakech has attracted great icons inspired by its eternal spirit as well as its sweet, beautiful life. Yves Saint Laurent’s intimate relationship to this city lead to the opening of a museum dedicated to his legendary work. The annual Marrakech International Film Festival draws a prominent crowd. Museums abound, exhibiting Moroccan arts, photography, carpets, and the Andalusian design aesthetic that permeates the city’s architecture. La Mamounia hotel, opened in 1923, offers a storied history, which includes hosting guests such as Winston Churchill. Vanessa Branson’s El Fenn is a collection of traditional riads that form a stunning boutique hotel. There are countless ways to be immersed in the culture of Marrakech, but perhaps the best place to start is with a simple glass of mint tea.

Considérée par beaucoup comme la ville la plus dynamique, la plus dynamique et la plus sexy du pays, Miami est plus populaire que jamais. Pourtant, c’est une ville qui ne se contente pas de changer mais qui évolue, sans jamais réécrire le passé, ne faisant qu’ajouter à son illustre héritage. Et c'est la vraie beauté de Miami. Le chic Surf Club et le vibrant Faena Hotel n'ont pas remplacé l'emblématique Raleigh des années 1940 ni le Ritz Carlton des années 50, mais les complètent. Des classiques comme Joe's Stone Crab continuent de servir leur cuisine signature aux foules à guichets fermés chaque soir, alors que de nouveaux établissements attirent avec des chefs renommés. L'architecture Art déco emblématique reste pleinement exposée alors que le musée d'art moderne de Perez, conçu par Herzog & de Meuron, contraste fortement. Remplie d'arts et de culture toute l'année, de l'art international à The Bass au street art de Wynwood Walls, chaque décembre, la ville est reprise par l'élite culturelle mondiale pour Art Basel Miami Beach, une foire qui attire plus de 80000 visiteurs qui tournent pour l'art mémorable, comme le spectacle de Maurizio Cattelan arrêtant «Comédien», et les festivités exubérantes organisées chaque soir.

Bien connu pour sa vie nocturne, le plaisir est à tout moment un point central de la vie à Miami. Des yachts et des bateaux de plaisance bordent ses marinas, des plages animées offrent des sièges au premier rang pour un défilé de fêtards bronzés, et les bladers et les motards côtoient le long de ses promenades en front de mer. Miami est devenue la plaque tournante de tout ce qui est chic, fougueux et coloré. Miami Beach emmène les lecteurs dans une visite de cette métropole audacieuse et merveilleuse.

Considered by many as the country’s most dynamic, fastest growing and sexiest city, Miami is more popular than ever before. Yet, it is a city that doesn’t merely change but evolves, never rewriting the past, just adding to its illustrious heritage. And this is the real beauty of Miami. The chic Surf Club and the vibrant Faena Hotel did not replace the emblematic Raleigh of the 1940s nor the Ritz Carlton of the 50s, rather they complement them. Classics like Joe’s Stone Crab continue to serve their signature fare to sell-out crowds each night, as new establishments attract with name chefs. The iconic art deco architecture remains on full display as the modern Herzog & de Meuron-designed Perez Art Museum stands in stark contrast. Replete with arts and culture year round from the international art at The Bass to the street art of Wynwood Walls, each December, the city is taken over by the global cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts over 80,000 visitors who turn out for the momentous art, such as Maurizio Cattelan’s show stopping “Comedian”, and the exuberant festivities hosted each evening.

Well-known for its nightlife, pleasure is a focal point of Miami life at all times. Yachts and recreational boats line its marinas, lively beaches offer front row seats to a parade of bronzed revelers, and bladers and bikers coast along its beach front promenades. Miami has become the hub for everything chic, fiery and colorful. Miami Beach takes the readers on a tour of this bold and wonderous metropolis.

Ce volume richement illustré retrace l'histoire de l'une des montres-bracelets les plus reconnaissables au monde à travers des images d'archives et des photographies originales, ainsi qu'un texte évocateur de Nicholas Foulkes, auteur, historien, journaliste et spécialiste de l'horlogerie. Née en 1931, à l'apogée de la période Art déco, la Reverso a été créée pour relever le défi de concevoir une montre-bracelet capable de résister aux rigueurs des matchs de polo. Elle capture l'essence de l'époque - une période où l'esprit de la modernité a tout changé, des mœurs sociales à l'architecture, la musique, le sport et tous les domaines du design. Incarnant cet esprit avec sa forme épurée et son boîtier réversible unique, la Reverso est restée une expression éternelle de la modernité pendant 90 ans, se réinventant continuellement sans jamais compromettre son identité. Son revers métallique vierge, qui était au départ une solution purement fonctionnelle, est devenu une toile d'expression créative, décorée d'émail, de gravures ou de pierres précieuses. Tout en retraçant l'histoire de la montre et son évolution au cours des neuf dernières décennies - avec plus de 50 calibres et plusieurs centaines de cadrans - le livre explore le milieu social et les changements culturels qui ont servi de toile de fond à la création de la Reverso et, plus tard, à sa réinvention continue. Il raconte l'histoire de plus d'une douzaine de propriétaires de Reverso qui ont personnalisé leur montre de manière très significative. Il raconte également l'histoire fascinante des fondateurs de Jaeger-LeCoultre, leurs inventions qui ont eu un impact profond sur l'histoire de l'horlogerie, et le développement de la Maison en tant que manufacture intégrée avec 180 compétences réunies sous un même toit.

This richly illustrated volume traces the story of one of the world’s most recognizable wristwatches through archive images and original photography, together with an evocative text by noted author, historian, journalist, and horological specialist Nicholas Foulkes. Born in 1931, at the height of the Art Deco period, the Reverso was created in response to the challenge of designing a wristwatch that could withstand the rigours of polo matches. It captured the essence of the time – a period when the spirit of modernity changed everything, from social mores to architecture, music, sport and every field of design. Epitomizing this spirit with its sleek form and unique reversible case, the Reverso has remained an eternal expression of modernity for 90 years, continually reinventing itself while never compromising its identity. Its blank metal flip side, which began as a purely functional solution, became a canvas for creative expression, decorated with enamel, engravings or gemstones. As well as tracing the history of the watch and its evolution over the past nine decades – with more than 50 calibres and several hundred dials – the book explores the social milieu and cultural changes that provided the backdrop to the creation of the Reverso and, later, its continued reinvention. It shares the stories of more than a dozen Reverso owners who have personalized their watches in deeply meaningful ways. And it also tells the fascinating story of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s founders, their inventions that have had a profound impact on horological history, and the Maison’s development as an integrated Manufacture with 180 skills brought together under one roof.

Au début des années 1900, l'ancien baron du pétrole Henry Morrison Flagler s'est intéressé à la côte sud de la Floride et a commencé à développer une communauté de villégiature exclusive. Établissant un chemin de fer qui permettrait un accès plus facile à la région, il a ensuite construit deux hôtels - il espérait que les premières familles américaines viendraient peupler la région. Cette modeste communauté deviendra plus tard une destination américaine emblématique, accueillant la royauté britannique, des stars de cinéma américaines et devenant le second chez-soi de certaines des principales familles du pays. Au fil du siècle, Palm Beach s'est imposé comme un refuge de luxe synonyme de glamour du vieux monde et de sophistication du nouveau monde.

Dans ce splendide volume, Aerin Lauder, résidente de longue date et société sociale de Palm Beach, nous emmène à travers son Palm Beach. Des restaurants préférés comme Nandos et Renatos, aux maisons préférées comme La Follia et Villa Artemis, elle nous emmène dans les boutiques d'élite de Worth Avenue et les allées pittoresques du sentier du lac Worth, tout en nous racontant les histoires, les visages et endroits qui sont devenus si identifiés à Palm Beach.

Early in the 1900s, one-time oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler took interest in the Southern coast of Florida and began developing an exclusive resort community. Establishing a railroad that would allow easier access to the area, he went on to build two hotels—his hope was that America’s first families would come to populate the area. This modest community would later evolve into an iconic American destination, hosting British royalty, American movie stars, and becoming the home-away-from-home to some of the country’s leading families. As the century continued, Palm Beach established itself as a luxury hideaway synonymous with old-world glamour and new-world sophistication.

In this splendid volume, longtime resident and Palm Beach social fixture Aerin Lauder takes us through her Palm Beach. From favorite restaurants like Nandos and Renatos, to favorite houses like La Follia and Villa Artemis, she takes us to the elite shopping of Worth Avenue and the scenic walkways of the Lake Worth trail, all the while relating to us the histories, faces, and places that have become so identified with Palm Beach.

Au large des côtes de l'Afrique de l'Est, dans l'océan Indien, se trouve un archipel connu sous le nom de Zanzibar. Tout a commencé il y a dix millions d'années lorsque l'île de Pemba s'est séparée de l'Afrique continentale, puis il y a dix mille ans, l'île d'Unguja a emboîté le pas. Ainsi, commence la légende de Zanzibar. Pendant des siècles, Zanzibar a été le havre et la porte d'entrée pour les explorateurs, dont Richard Burton et David Livingstone, pour pénétrer le continent africain inconnu. De nos jours, il est toujours possible de découvrir la faune unique que ce soit en plongeant au large des côtes d'une île privée, des lagons infinis, en visitant des mangroves ou des forêts sauvages endémiques; se perdre et se plonger dans les rues labyrinthiques historiques de Stonetown. Ce groupe d'îles se trouve à un carrefour de cultures, avec l'architecture omanaise, les héritages portugais et britannique ainsi que les rituels swahili.

La photographe Aline Coquelle partage un portrait intime d'une communauté pleine de vie. Avec la photographie originale, une culture indigène en voie de disparition est préservée et célébrée. Ce volume invite le lecteur à découvrir le paradis qu'est Zanzibar.

Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean sits an archipelago known as Zanzibar. It all started ten million years ago when the island of Pemba separated from mainland Africa and then ten thousand years ago, the island of Unguja followed suit. Thus, begins the legend of Zanzibar. For centuries, Zanzibar has been the haven and gateway for explorers including Richard Burton and David Livingstone to penetrate the unknown African Continent. Forward to present day, and it is still possible to experience the unique wildlife whether that is by scuba diving off the coast of a private island, infinite lagoons, visiting mangroves or endemic wild forests; getting lost and immersing yourself into the historical labyrinthine streets of Stonetown. This cluster of islands is at a crossroads of cultures, featuring Omani architecture, Portuguese and British heritages as well as Swahili rituals.

Photographer Aline Coquelle shares an intimate portrait of a community bursting with life. With original photography, a disappearing, indigenous culture is preserved and celebrated. This volume invites the reader to experience the paradise that is Zanzibar.
