Arnold Schwarzenegger
Brigitte Bardot It was a young Austrian body builder, flexing his muscles on the sandy beaches of the Croisette in front of the photographers who, several years later was to become the world famous actor Arnold Schwarzeneger and eventually Governor of California. It was French star Isabelle Adjani in dispute with photographers, who in 1983 turned their backs on her, as she climbed the red carpeted steps of the Festival Hall, to protest her refusal to submit to their photo calls. It’s an entire theatre whistling at Maurice Pialat, winner of the Palme d’Or in 1987 for his controversial film, Sous le soleil de Satan. It was the strap of Sophie Marceau’s dress, gently sliding from her shoulder, revealing to all, the breast that should not have been seen. Cannes is Sharon Stone, for whom the steps of the palace coincided with the screening of Basic Instinct and the enthusiastic acclaim it received taking her from unknown to Queen of Hollywood overnight. Only the Cannes Festival could recount such a fairy tale.

chanel n°5: jasmine in a state of «Grasse» Eternal icon in the fashion world, the incomparable “Coco” Chanel invented her famous “N° 5” in 1921. A totally original perfume, reflecting the unparalleled genius of this designer who liberated women and their looks. She gave them a perfume which is still the biggest seller in the world and revolutionised both the saga of the perfume industry and the history of seduction. And it was from the town of Grasse that this legend deployed its wafting fragrance to all four corners of the world. Chanel’s “N° 5” has bewitched

As in the case of jasmine, Chanel controls its production in Grasse, directly and exclusively. This same control is then exercised at each stage in production, right up to the final phase of sealed packaging for N° 5 extracts, a tradition that Chanel is the very last perfumer to perpetuate. As for the N° 5 bottle, it has become a symbol of refinement and femininity. In 1959, it made its entrance into the Metropolitan Museum of New York and, in the ’sixties, Andy Warhol, who appropriated cult objects and figures of the time in the interest of art, made it the star of one of his series of works. Chanel N° 5 was again innovative in being adopted by the world’s most beautiful women: Candice Bergen, Susy Parker, Ali MacGraw, Lauren Hutton, Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet and Estella Warren. And no-one has forgotten Marylin Monroe’s answer to a journalist who asked her in 1954 what she wore in bed: “Just a few drops of Chanel N° 5”!

a Tuscan setting in the land of Perfume It feels just like being in the heart of Tuscany. Yet here, on the Cote d’Azur, near Grasse, in this still pristine, rugged, hinterland of Cannes, a visionary has conceived a fabulous country mansion with a unique past. A most astounding Château, so enchanting and rare that its name remains a mystery shared only among initiates. Built in the Renaissance style, its some three hundred meter length extends onto a superb estate of terraced gardens where guests can wander amidst vineyards and olive groves. The master of the house imagined it and turned is fantasy into a reality, stone by stone, vestiges uncovered and gathered throughout France. The building bears within it the memory of those churches and ancient homes doomed to destruction and dismantled, to be reincarnated here. Every inch of the place echoes its past, whether recent or distant. The interior ceilings are reproductions of Renaissance frescos - true works of art, executed by Italian artisans with unrivalled know-how, using the same methods and techniques as those of ancient times. With its many adjoining buildings, walkways reminiscent of Italian cloisters, and gardens exuding subtle fragrances, the Château is a unique home for hosting guests and entertaining, in a private and secure environment… the ultimate rendezvous with architecture, history and “art de vivre.”

black gold
the black gold of the alchemist The truffle is the guilty pleasure of more than one gourmet. For Clement Bruno, celebrated chef based in Lorgues in the Var, this fungus is more than a specialty: it’s an incredible passion! Queen of the markets in Richerens, Carpentras or Aups, diva of the soil of Provence: the truffle, which the famous Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini described as “The Mozart of Mushrooms”, offers no alternative, you either love or hate the heady woody aroma it exudes as you might expect or find it, according to its detractors, “overpowering”. But no sacrifice will deter those who adore it. The Kings of France, for example, had them delivered to Paris by stagecoach. A custom which began with Francois the 1st who, having tasted this mushroom in Spain, when he was a prisoner of Charles V, commanded that it be kept in the royal kitchens on his return to France. Henry IV on his part, aware of its aphrodisiac qualities, served it to his favorite ladies at dinner.

la vie en rosé The “rosés” of Provence are the character and the accent of the South. And they make you rosy with pleasure! Courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, black olive-paste, red-mullet and Mediterranean sea-bass, supions, sea-urchins, violet clams: a market in Provence is worthy of a still-life, painted by an Impressionist master. Colours, savours and smells transform it into a gourmet feast. The soil of Provence is bountiful and its wines are perfect accomplices for this natural cuisine. The most popular colour? Rosé: it alone accounts for 80% of all wine production in Provence. Rosé wine is one of the oldest in the world. It’s also the most difficult to succeed, because it needs careful attention, like milk on the hob… Rosé is made with red grapes. When the fruit is pressed, the skin soaks in the juice. But rosé only takes a few hours to obtain its colour, structure and aroma. Vigilance, rigor and subtle sensitivity are the watchwords which guarantee quality.
To each his method Ah, rosé! A total paradox… A wine that is simple and pleasant to drink, but complex and delicate to produce. For, contrary to general thinking, it’s not a blend of white and red. That would be too easy! And, what’s more, illegal! procedure. Except for pink champagne, to which a few drops of red wine are added to give it a romantic hue, all rosé wines in France therefore rely on two different techniques, more and more highly developed: “saignée” (bleeding) and “pressurage” (pressing). While elsewhere in France, each region favours one of these two methods, Provence makes use of both. Each one has its fans, depending on the character one wants to give the wine. The “saignée” method gives wine of intense colour and distinct aromas. As for red wine, the grapes are first pressed and destalked: the stalk (the linear part of a bunch of grapes) is

skin is then burst open. Then the grapes are placed in the vat, during which time the solid matter (“marc” or grape-pomace) remains in contact with the juice. This maceration allows the liquid (grape-must) to absorb the substances which partly determine its taste and colour. By halting this operation when the “robe” becomes perfectly rose-coloured (24 hours maximum after it was placed in the vat), one prevents the colour from evolving further. It’s then said that the vintner bleeds the vat, meaning that he recovers part of the grape-must. Perfectly filtered, it begins its fermentation (transformation of the sugar in alcohol) without undergoing any further change in colour.

“The horse, the faithful steed“ Pegasus, Bucephalus, Jappeloup, Milton, First of May, so many legendary horses that make up our history. Of all animals, the horse is probably the one which has had the greatest influence on the practical evolution of humanity. The first signs of domestication date back to around 3500 BC. Very soon, man adopted the horse as his faithful companion and team mate, especially built for hunting, warfare, agricultural work and transportation. Together, there exists a strong and respect for one another, still very much alive today.

Schuler will not say otherwise. The famous horsewoman continues to live her love for this noble animal but above all, it is her love of horseriding that fascinates this German industrialist’s daughter. A severe allergy to horsehair forced her to give up her passion for several years, however, she never gave up her dream and began a lengthy medical treatment for a total desensitization. Eventually, she was back in the saddle. It was during a random

They play for periods of 4, 6 or 8 “Chukas” (a period of 7 minutes 30). And in this sport, Corinne Schuller has no equal. What is it about polo that she likes so much? The team spirit, tactics, humility, but more especially the partnership formed with the horse. A quasi-fusion which ensures that the lady becomes totally immersed in the sport. She trained relentlessly, endless practice, participating in all the major tournaments and in 2004, she became the first French women’s polo champion. As well as her sporting achievements, Corinne Schuler has fulfilled another dream: the establishment of her own polo club, in Saint-Tropez, where she’s been improving her mallet swing for the past twelve years.

I want, so much, to see Syracuse... The town bears the name of the most eastern provinces of Sicily and remains a striking example of a tourist destination. Founded in the eighth century by Greek colonists from Corinth, it was declared by Cicero to be “The most beautiful city in the world.” Beautiful but rebellious, Syracuse waged war against Athens and won but was forced to bend under the yoke of Carthage. Devastated by the terrible earthquake of 1693, it was partly rebuilt, and since 2005, its old city centre was written into the List of World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Its most famous citizen is of course Archimedes and the story goes that here he dreamed of giant mirrors reflecting the sun’s rays and setting alight, the sails of the invading enemies. Syracuse the seductress is now separated in two parts: Neapolis with its Archaeological Park and the island of Ortigia. The ruins of the temple of Apollo are the only visible remains of antiquity in Ortigia. Legend says that its name, meaning “quail” in Greek, comes from hundreds of these birds which fell from the sky thanks to Santa Lucia, in 1646. The Saint thus saved the local residents from starvation.
