The quieter side of Saint-Tropez that visitors rarely see - the calm before the cameras arrive. Come April, one of television's most talked-about series - HBO's The White Lotus - will begin filming its fourth season here, adding a new twist to the Riviera's long tradition of mischief and decadent pleasures.
The Nike France World Cup 2026 home kit is out, providing a timely reminder of the cultural ties between the French and Americans. This one's dark, too, as the designers have moved away from the bright and vibrant blue that adorned the French shirts as they bundled into the European Championship semi-finals in 2024.
The creative output of that tribe was so immense, and their bohemian adventures so inspiring, that I wrote and published a historical novel, The Ashtrays Are Full and the Glasses Are Empty featuring many figures from the Lost Generation.
Regardless of the address, the revered fashion designer always, unabashedly, combined old with new, shedding fresh light on various historical design movements and their most important pioneers. Most of these homes have been the subject of expansive magazine print features and the fodder of tabloid headlines but little focus has ever really been placed on his workspaces.
Prosecutors in the Britanny town of Saint-Malo confirmed to AFP they have started a formal investigation into a woman's claims, made in September 2024, that she was allegedly raped during the British film festival in Dinard in October 2012 when Bruel was jury chairman.
Fashioned after a traditional French gateau Breton, the gateau Basque and even the galette des rois—all cakes made of sweet or quick puff dough doubled up and filled with fruit or cream or nuts—this cake, uniquely Louisianan and lovingly called gateau nana, takes inspiration from each.
Leftist mayors have transformed Paris over the past 25 years to include countless cycling lanes, a cleaner Seine river, and even fresher air. But concerns over safety and rubbish collection could usher in a return of the right in local polls starting on Sunday.
The streets around the Louvre have improved considerably as a dining destination. It's still true that the neighborhood rewards those who know where to look - the blocks immediately adjacent to the museum are thick with tourist traps - but a short walk in almost any direction opens up genuinely good options.
Between March 1 and March 15, the BNP Paribas Open, also known as the Indian Wells Open, is being held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California. In recent years, the premier sporting event has become as much about fashion and status as it is about sports.
It's probably not helpful but I have been doing this fame thing for a while and you learn slowly and painfully that you don't get a free pass once you turn yourself into a bird of paradise. I watched [Chappell Roan] filming the paps in Paris and I laughed because I have kicked off at them many times.
The question of how fashion is archived - what enters the museum; what is deemed worthy of preservation; whose clothes are considered culturally significant enough to outlast the bodies that wore them - has long sat uneasily at the centre of fashion history itself. Institutions have tended to answer it, or ignore it, in much the same way: couture gowns under glass, luxury garments mounted on conservation-grade mannequins in blockbuster exhibitions - an implicit hierarchy of the designed over the worn, the authored over the anonymous.
Rape survivor turned feminist campaigner Gisèle Pelicot, along with her daughter Caroline Darian, led the march in Paris, saying: "We will never give up". Her daughter added: "I am very honoured to be here with my mother, who gives a real message of hope to all victims in France."
The story of poule au pot starts in Pau, in southwestern France, a city famous for this chicken dish and as the birthplace of its alleged originator, le Bon Roi Henri - otherwise known as Henry VI, King of France for 21 years bridging the 16th and 17th centuries. Good King Henry has gone down in history for his benevolence.
Since March 1st, 2026, an extra tax of €2 per item has applied to parcels imported from countries outside the European Union, in addition to standard customs duties. Here's how it works and who pays.
The agents—dozens of them—who approached them to become Kylian's representatives ever since the eight-year-old was making fun of defenders twice his size with Bondy were rebuffed. The financial advisers who offered to broker sponsorship deals met with the same response: father Wilfrid would take care of his son's sporting career, mother Fayza of all the rest, with Kylian having the final word in any decision involving his future.
The nineteenth-century Italian aristocrat Virginia Oldoini, Countess de Castiglione, has been cast in many lights: narcissist, courtesan, spy, exhibitionist. In the photo studio of Mayer & Pierson, she played all these parts and one more-the role of self-portraitist. For decades, Oldoini helped conceptualize and starred in more than four hundred portraits so experimental and expressive that they have drawn comparisons to works by Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman.
Pogacar made his decisive move just as he had done two years ago on the Monte Sante Marie gravel section. His UAE Team Emirates colleagues had put the hammer down heading into that section and once Pogacar attacked on a tough climb, he quickly distanced everyone else. Seixas was the rider who resisted the longest even briefly dragging back Pogacar before the world champion accelerated again and disappeared over the horizon for good.
Suddenly, a strange, loud, rhythmic, prolonged noise, like the dying moan of an organ, then the dying wail of the breeze sighing in the cloisters, struck the indignant ears of the nuns with astonishment. The nuns all turned to stare at Sister Agnès, who in her embarrassment, tripped and let fly a spoonful of her chou pastry dough into a pot of boiling fat, and the doughnut-like pet de nonne, 'nun's fart' was born.
In his expressive, large-format works, Proux stages humans in the field of tension between industry and nature in the context of 21st century's late capitalism. Depictions of workers in offices, factories and warehouses are juxtaposed with light-flooded scenes of people and nature.
