What comes home with you is a set of images built to the same standard as a professional ad campaign.

PARIS
Ritz Paris
Restored to its 19th-century splendor and presiding over Place Vendome, the legendary Ritz Paris embodies the quintessence of Parisian elegance. More than a prestigious address, it is a living chapter of history, where Coco Chanel, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Marcel Proust once found inspiration within its gilded walls. Beneath the glass ceiling and among the linden trees of the Grand Jardin, refinement unfolds in quiet moments. Each room and suite is a destination in its own right, imbued with a singular soul and named in tribute to the luminaries who shaped the myth of 15 Place VendÔme. Lavish fabrics, antique details and timeless charm create an atmosphere where dreams linger. Gastronomy takes centre stage in Michelin-starred restaurants celebrating nuanced, seasonal French cuisine, while teatime in the Salon Proust and an evening at Bar Hemingway remain enduring rituals. At the Ritz Club & Spa, holistic treatments, steam and sauna lead to the enchanting indoor pool, where columns, mermaids in mosaic and a painted sky frame a weightless swim in luminous “Ritz Blue.”
LES BAUX DE PROVENCE
Baumaniere

SAINT-TROPEZ
Chateau de la Messardiere
Offering everything you could want from a Saint-Tropez summer, this picturesque region of the south of France is one of the most popular holiday destinations because of its unique and authentic atmosphere. Both chic and informal, Saint-Tropez is known around the world for its way of life, its legendary port, and its colorful alleyways. Within this setting, Chateau de La Messardiere is nestled in the hills, surrounded by the Ramatuelle vineyards. Built in the 19th century, the Chateau is an integral part of the village, with a coat of arms dating back to 1660 and centuries of history in the local heritage. Originally a wedding gift to Officer Henry Brisson de la Messardiere and his wife, the hotel was converted to a hotel in 1904 and became popular with the Parisian Aristocracy during the Roaring Twenties. Reigned as a high-end resort, Chateau de la Messardiere continues to feel authentically boutique with 86 rooms and suites spread across the Chateau and the Belvedere.
