Lodestars Anthology: Issue 9, France

Within these pages you will find all things archetypically French, from snow-covered chalets, mighty châteaux and fromage, to every variety of grape-based liquids a connoisseur could desire.

But you’ll also encounter the unexpected - food-inspired jaunts through the Pyrénées-Orientales, journeys across the Alps in the footsteps of literary giants and a coastal road trip that pays homage to the elegance of yesteryear.

This is a country of jasmine harvests, market splendour, Parisian decadence, fairy tale islands and adventure; a place to chase light and history and appreciate the marvels of terroir and creative daring. Full of the singular, serendipitous and spectacular, France, je t’aime.
