After Japan, Holiday turns its gaze closer to home, devoting its pages to France and her aristocracy. While Karim Sadli and Annemarieke Van Drimmelen capture the spirit of castle life and the French Riviera, Olivier Kervern-whose cliché of the Château de Josselin appears on the cover–plunges into a world above time, pursuing the nobility into its most mythical and remote spaces. Alongside them, Jéromine Savignon examines the elegant company of Louise de Vilmorin, Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni tells of the Proustian dandy Boni de Castellane and American writer David Dodge, in a text that first appeared in Holiday 60 years ago, shares the fruit of his wanderings in France in the 1950s. Nelly Kaprielian, meanwhile, offers a precious and rare interview with the mysterious Jean-Jacques Schuhl, Arthur Dreyfus talks about family and cuisine with Daniel de la Falaise, François Simon writes about his favorite tables and photographer Friederike von Rauch Berliner raises her keen eye to the immortal beauty of the Silvacane Abbey
