1 ~~~ CNT ~ The prettiest places to visit in Provence ~~~ 159 Where to stop and what to see in the beautiful French region of Provence
How to chart Provence on a map? It is hard to comprehend and prone to fuzzy theories about which mountains hem it in, which topography traces its rims. French regional maps will be no help. To the south, Provence flows clearly into the Mediterranean, but head north, through the Drôme region, and the uncertainty begins.
Provence is seeking to unify the lands on which its spirit thrives: Italy, Spain and the Meditarranean. It flows everywhere: in the splice of a knife slicing a lemon, the velvet wings of an eagle, the cries of fun and fright in Camargue’s manade bull ranches, the sweep of a corniche cliff road and the babble of a daube provençal stew. This is where the Provence landscape is epitomised. Every inch of it is associated with food and eating. But meals don’t go down here as they do in Paris and Naples. There is gusto here; voracity. Eating is a language in itself.
We might end up storing this Provence away in the attic of an old-world France, with ornamental figures, the mistral and lots of lavender. Yet, it’s in the mauve hills of Valensole that Simon Porte Jacquemus trumpeted modernity, bringing his models for a fashion show to mark the 10th anniversary of his couture house ('Coup de soleil', June 2019). On an endless fuchsia carpet cutting a runway through the triumphant lavender, his creations found a perfect echo. Modernity needs authenticity to be validated. In this vein, you could view Provence as a moral checkpoint, implacable in its selection process. If it’s good, then it’s good: the sculptor César, the MuCEM museum in Marseille, Ora Ito at the Cité Radieuse, the architect Rudy Ricciotti. Or the Château La Coste winery estate near Aix-en-Provence, where works by Calder, Ando, Louise Bourgeois, Frank O Gehry, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Richard Serra embellish the rolling countryside.
These are some of the prettiest places to visit in Provence. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/where-to-go-provence?21 April 2021 |

3 ~~~ Paris’s Champs-Élysées Is Undergoing Massive Changes ~ Conde Nast ~~~ 26 The famed promenade is regularly choked with traffic, but a newly announced project plans to make it more pedestrian-friendly. Ask Parisians how regularly they amble along the Champs-Élysées, often called “the most beautiful avenue in the world,” and you’re likely to be met with a shrug and the answer, “rarely, if ever.” The cinematic sheen that has long lifted up this landmark avenue has worn thin over time. Built in the 17th century for the French royal family, the once-regal promenade stretching from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe now finds its sidewalks cracked and uneven, littered with forsaken Lime scooters. Nearly 64,000 cars choke the eight-lane thoroughfare each day, making the area among the city’s most polluted. And despite playing host to flagships of tony French brands like Louis Vuitton, its retail offerings have long been dominated by mass-market international brands, making it feel more like a street that could exist in London, Tokyo, or New York. www.cntraveler.com/story/pariss-champs-elysees-is-undergoing-massive-changes ~ 22 January 2021 ~ |

5 ~~~ Paris Lockdown: Locals On How It Feels Different the Second Time Around ~~~ "It feels more like a sleepy August day than the silent ghost town it was last spring.” When President Emmanuel Macron made his announcement that France would go back into lockdown at midnight on Friday, October 30, my WhatsApp started chiming, one message after the next asking the same question: “What are your plans?” Across the city, Parisians took the afternoon off and dashed around, running errands at dry cleaners and art supply shops. People terrace-hopped from one restaurant to the next, showing support to their favorite establishments while saying goodbye to friends who lived outside the limit of the permitted one-kilometer confinement radius. Our apéro, a pre-dinner ritual of drinks and light bites, transformed into a three-hour feast as we tried to soak up as much time before rushing off to our respective homes before the 9 p.m. curfew. We didn’t know what the new confinement would bring—but at least this time around, we had a better idea of how to handle it. www.cntraveler.com/story/paris-lockdown-locals-on-how-it-feels-different-the-second-time-around ~ 10 November 2020 ~ |

6 ~~~ 10 Best Things to Do in Paris (And What Not to Do) ~ Conde Nast ~~~ Without some insider intel, it can be easy to make a misstep. Paris's seductive charms are legendary, and for good reason. Inviting sidewalk cafes, gleaming boutiques, world-class museums, endless things to do, and a fabled restaurant scene make Paris the runway model of cities—beautiful, fashionable, confident, and inspiring envy at every turn. But with expectations running so high, Paris can—yes, it's true—occasionally disappoint. When you find yourself elbow-to-elbow with throngs of tennis shoe–wearing tourists, tucking into yet another overpriced meal, you'll wonder how the Paris that travelers fall in love with has proved so elusive. Unless, that is, you read and discover how to avoid the top 10 mistakes first-timers make in the City of Light. Because we've been there, we compiled our list of the things not to do in Paris—and what to do instead. You're welcome. www.cntraveler.com/galleries/2014-10-15/10-things-not-to-do-in-paris ~ 30 September 2019 ~ |

7 ~~~ This New Book Will Transport You to the Palace of Versailles ~ Conde Nast ~~~ It spans centuries of the château's storied history. From the reigns of Louis the Great to Louis XVI and beyond, unimaginable amounts of drama have gone down at the Palace of Versailles, which the writer Victor Hugo once called the “magnificent binding” that holds together the book that is France's history. Assouline's latest tome, Versailles: From Louis XIV To Jeff Koons, released this month, presents a welcome opportunity for opulent armchair travel—not to mention time travel. (The edition is so suitably sumptuous, in fact, that it comes with a complimentary pair of white gloves for keeping your copy as pristine as possible.) With an introduction by Catherine Pégard, president of the establishment and estate of Versailles, as well as photographs and archival images of the palace and its grounds, Versailles offers readers a look at the palace's gilded history. Below, we've rounded up a sampling of visuals from the new book. www.cntraveler.com/gallery/new-palace-of-versailles-book ~ 27 October 2020 ~ |

It’s no surprise that a noble farmhouse in Provence or a cinematic glasshouse on the Côte d’Azur have some of the most arresting views, views with an exploding palette of marine blues, granite greys and deep greens.

12 ~~~ The 15 most beautiful places in France It's time to start planning a road trip through the most beautiful places in France 'What is the beautiful, if not the impossible,’ famously wrote French writer Gustave Flaubert. And when it comes to pinpointing what most captivates our senses, there’s nothing predictable about the unspoilt powdery snow of majestic Alpine peaks or the improbably clear emerald shallows of a deserted Corsican beach. Sometimes beauty is as simple as a shaft of pure winter light illuminating the pastel façade of a village house or the graceful harmony of a grandiose chateau. But whether it’s an unlikely glittering aluminium tower in the Provençal town of Arles or the astonishing panorama of Auvergne’s extinct volcanoes, France’s exceptionally diverse attractions add up to a joyous fête of unimaginable marvels. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/beautiful-places-france30 December 2020 |

13 ~~~ Is this France's most artistic region? The Camargue is France's delta, a wide-framed wetland where Van Gogh imagined his utopia. Now modern creatives come to tap into its rich artistic seam My first encounter with the Camargue was in black and white, on a TV set in the North Yorkshire cottage where I grew up. I was 10 years old, and even in monochrome it was plain to me from Sir Peter Scott’s wildlife documentary that this was a place more vivid than any land I was used to. White horses cantered across sand the colour of their manes, flamingos moved about reed-fringed lagoons as if choreographed by Bob Fosse, and a vaulted sky of profound blue was filled with the liquid trilling of nightingales. In grey Yorkshire, lumpy rain splotted the windows and gusts of wind rattled the doors, making the hall rug flap like a manta ray. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/camargue-franceJune 2019 |

19 ~~~ Where is 'Emily in Paris' filmed? The fish-out-of-water romcom guilty pleasure returns with season two in December 2021 Following the break-out success of season one, Netflix has confirmed that season two will be released on Wednesday 22 December 2021 with this enticing trailer, which suggests Emily is going to be spending some time on holiday and away from Paris this time. The story of a cheery Chicago marketing exec who lands a job with a French agency, Emily in Paris always had the credentials, not least in its American showrunner Darren Star, whose CV includes Beverly Hills 90210 and the immortal Sex and the City. There’s a touch of that last show in Emily, though Star also ambitiously compares it to The Devil Wears Prada and 1954 Audrey Hepburn flick Sabrina. Starring as Emily is Lily Collins, seen previously in the equally French Les Misérables on the BBC, but, for the first series at least, almost equal billing should go to Paris. The first episodes of the show were shot almost entirely in the city and Star’s clout won access to some of its most glittering and glamorous locations. Here we outline some of the highlights of where Emily in Paris series one was filmed. We shall update this article with more about the locations used for the second series as soon as we know more. And scroll down to the bottom for more images from the second series. www.cntraveller.com/article/where-is-emily-in-paris-filmed#11 November 2021 |

20 ~~~ Is this the most secluded hideaway in the South of France? Once the hedonistic hideout of a hippie minded jet set, the isle of Cavallo was the realm of a nightclub kingpin who laid on lavish parties for pixie-haired pop stars and flower-crowned princesses. Now its wild glamour is more low-key On the beaches they sliced off the heads of Champagne bottles with scimitars, pirates in headscarves and bikinis. They danced on virgin sands, swam in luminous waters, and then stretched their salt-skinned limbs out in the sun to dry. This ragged band of Seventies sirens and sugar-daddios had been seduced by Cavallo, a tiny French island off Corsica’s southern cape. It was their secret. An enchanted spot all their own. A scented isle of profound beauty, of absurdly blue lagoons and wild beaches, and great, otherworldly rocks in the shapes of fantastical creatures. ‘It was paradise on earth,’ said one, the singer Petula Clark. ‘We lived like gypsies and washed in the sea.’ www.cntraveller.com/article/cavallo-france4 October 2020 |

24 ~~~ Brooke Shields' favourite places in the world A descendant of both an Italian prince and a French king, the model, GoldenGlobe-nominated actor and Broadway star has now founded an online community to empower women Where have you just come back from? ‘South Queensferry, Scotland. I was there for about two and a half months filming A Castle for Christmas. I was living in an absolute fantasy: I’d wake up in the carriage house and look out at the castle tower, then on my days off, I’d go to collect sea glass from the shore. We did a lot of horse riding through the countryside and ate unbelievable fish and chips. The beauty of shooting a movie is that you’re forced to live as much like a local as possible. It’s not really about sightseeing: you end up being immersed in a community in a way that you wouldn’t experience as a tourist. I’ve always been almost addicted to travel, because of the depth of the experiences that I’ve been able to have thanks to living in environments for long periods of time.’ www.cntraveller.com/article/brooke-shields-favourite-places-travel#25 November 2021 |

After Notre-Dame de Paris burned in 2019, French politicians promised to rebuild the 12th-century cathedral as it was. But the city of Paris, which has pledged to be the greenest city in Europe by 2030, decided to take advantage of the restoration to rethink the surrounding gardens and esplanade, known as the parvis, as an eco-friendly public space. In September 2021, the mayor launched a pro-environment design competition for the site, and last June, the jury unanimously selected a team led by award-winning Belgian landscape architect Bas Smets. Their proposal will turn the Île de la Cité, the island in the Seine where Notre-Dame sits, into a sustainable microclimate. www.cntraveler.com/story/pariss-notre-dame-will-become-part-of-a-new-sustainable-microclimate?30 November 2022 |

29 ~~~ Where to Experience Paris in Bloom This Spring ~ CNT ~~~ Stroll through gardens, marvel at flower shop displays, stop for a photo op, and bask in the romance of springtime on this walking tour itinerary. Paris is never short of associations with romance, but its picture-perfect setting hits its apogee in spring, when trees and flowers begin to bloom—adding pops of color to the cityscape—and milder temperatures make it easy to wander through its beautiful parks and gardens. Sandra Sigman knows this well. The renowned florist and author of French Blooms first came to Paris in the mid-'80s as a professional figure skater, and left with a dream to open a French-inspired flower shop. She returned home to Massachusetts in 1989 and opened Les Fleurs with her mother. Over 30 years later, it is a thriving space where Sigman and her team create seasonal flower arrangements and sell new and vintage French home and garden goods. Sigman splits her time between New England and her apartment in Paris, which serves as a launchpad for her sourcing trips across France. www.cntraveler.com/story/where-to-experience-paris-in-bloom-this-spring?21 March 2023 |
