The Good Life France Magazine Autumn 2025 issue
Discover the gilded splendour of Versailles, not the palace but the town itself, with its marvellous market, secret squares, stunning royal stables and lesser-known treasures that lie beyond those famous golden gates. In Provence come with us to the Luberon to discover picturesque villages that cling to hillsides in a cascade of vivid ochres and rainbow-coloured flowers.
If medieval France fills your heart with passion, you’ll love our ramble through storybook citadels. And since Paris in autumn is nothing short of romantic – crisp leaves underfoot, café terraces wrapped in the scent of roasting chestnuts, I’ve curated some of my favourite things to do, from lingering in the Louvre to exploring hidden, hushed libraries and admiring haute couture at Galerie Dior.
The soul of France often hides in its smaller corners like Brantôme in the Dordogne, medieval Montreuil-sur-Mer in Hauts-de-France, and captivating Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Côte d’Azur, where the light has long seduced painters and dreamers.
We’ve travelled far and wide to bring you the best of authentic France – Albi’s red brick rosy glow, the lush Beaujolais hills, volcanic Auvergne, elegant Limoges, vibrant Lyon and the magnificent Chateau of Villandry in the Loire Valley, where the gardens are so perfect you’d think the box hedges get manicures (they do actually!). We also explore the cultural spirit of France from autumn festivals to street art, delve into the history of French Art Deco and the fascinating story of the humble, but oh-so-chic, bistro chair.
Dazzling destinations. Authentic France. Stunning photography.
