EDITO
We the French, have something that the world envies. The entire
planet has tried to work out the formula, some have even been tempted to copy
it, but no, no one has managed to quite decipher the mystery so far.
French style is the Holy Grail. Its a state of mind, a way of life,
its this je-ne-sais-quoi that renders Parisian women more elegant than
New Yorkers, the capitals terraces more charming than Londons pubs, and the
Cote dAzur and its blue skies a unique part of the world.
Sorry, but a school where you can learn French style doesnt exist
any more than you can clone the Eiffel Tower or Ins de la Fressange!
But the French know how to be generous (yes, its true) and thats
why were bringing you this special edition dedicated to French Inspiration. A
compendium of elegance with images of unrivalled French fashion, highlights
of the best cultural events (because for us style is synonymous with culture),
beauty tips for understanding how Parisian women manage to stay relaxed
chic all at once. And because the French are snobs (a little quirk thats part of
our charm), weve also created a little guide to the forms of snobbery to adopt very useful for meals out. You will also find a selection of unusual tourist sites.
Welcome. And thank you for inspiring us so powerfully.

AN ACTRESS
IS A VERY
PECULIAR
ANIMAL
bit too dazzling. Do you know who I think is mind-blowing?
Charlotte Casiraghi. The first time I had dinner with her, I
couldnt take my eyes off her. Of course you need the intelligence, simplicity, vivacity and kindness to go with it. These
transcend and enhance a persons beauty.
Americans say that you radiate the photogenic quality of the stars from Hollywoods golden age. It would be
truer to say that they havent yet offered me a role where
Im stripped of anything unnatural; perhaps in The Immigrant
by James Gray, where I wore very little makeup, but thats
a bit different, it was a period drama. However, in Two Days,
One Night, my character, Sandra, confronts life bare-faced.
That was one of my most beautiful and unique experiences. With the Dardenne brothers, it went beyond trust; it
was harmonious, even fusional. In another genre, I really
enjoyed being in Rust and Bone by Jacques Audiard. That was
my sexiest, most sensual role. A radiant girl, the kind I like.
Do you have any regrets about your exceptional career?
That I didnt get to film with Patrice Chreau. His death
broke my actress heart, I felt enormous grief. I thought
about the experience, which I had so often dreamed about
and would never have. His film Intimacy is my favourite, a
true masterpiece.
How do you manage the whirlwind success that has
swept you up since La Vie en Rose, and all the constraints it
imposes? I try to do the best that I can. I lead quite an unusual life, but in this unusualness, Im lucky enough to experience a lot of joy. I have nothing to complain about.
As a woman, have you achieved a sense of fulfilment?
Not yet. An actress is a very peculiar animal! When I started
out, I couldnt live with this need for recognition and the
desire to be liked. I deal with it better now, but Im still far
from no longer wanting it, and from wisdom.
But isnt it natural to want to be liked? To be liked, yes
of course, but the need for recognition is pathological, impossible to satisfy completely. And Im always scared of
disappointing. This insecurity, which all actresses have,
sometimes creates tension. Ive had a lot of recognition,
more than I could ever imagine. But no award can really
satisfy that need; lets say it gives fleeting confidence. Only
by working on yourself to find the origins of that need, can
you finally overcome it.
What soothes you? My nearest and dearest. And people
like writer and environmentalist Pierre Rabhi, an altruist
and one of the most beautiful people in my life.

is living a fairytale;
How to Be Parisian
Wherever You Are (1), the tongue in cheek
guide book she wrote with three girlfriends, is already a hit, to be released
worldwide this year. As the books ambassador, shes either in and out of meetings, on the road for Chanels Mtiers dArt
collection, posing in womens magazines,
or giving interviews with a relentless
nonchalance - afterall, the Parisienne is
an oxymoron.
The lean Parisenne with her strong-willed
chin and long tousled hair evoke a drawing by Kiraz or a photograph by Hedi
Slimane. Shes classy, a little quirky and
anxious, with a wild look in her shy eyes.
Her charming flaws are, for her career,

could also add that her maternal grandfather was a minister during the presidency
of Valery Giscard dEstaing, that she herself is a countess, and that one may run
into her famous ancestor, Prince Poniatowski, in Tolstoys War and Peace during the battle of Borodino (Poniatowski...
met Tuchkov there barring his way, Book III).
But shes far too well-mannered to point
that out. She shrugs off the subject with
an evasive reply, I prefer Chekhov! Her
upbringing has allowed her to this day, to
sail through life rather smoothly. Either
way, shes more of a peacekeeper than
a troublemaker and knows how to keep
tiresome people at bay, Manners make
life sweeter. They foster a sense of sociability and give one this tremendous ability
to put a protective distance between oneself and the others if need be.

and is naturally in tune with his feminine side - hes even more of a feminist
than I am! My mother-in-law has an exemplary connection to her own age and
femininity, and decided she would never
give up. Giving up means getting old. She
doesnt want to be left behind, so she does
the rounds of gigs and exhibitions, she s
enthusiastic, and looks 15 years younger
than she is - without Botox!
Caroline likes to admire women, despises female rivalry and advocates
benevolence. In our book, theres an
ode to Simone de Beauvoir, Veil, Signoret; strong-minded and active women
who changed womens lives or simply
were the epitome of a woman in love,
like Signoret, but I also love Charlotte
Rampling; she has a smart beauty, its
impressive. On a different note, I like
the avant-gardists such as Misia Sert,
Dora Maar, Gabrielle Chanel, Lou Andreas-Salom. She succeeds by caring.
Im part of the NGO Care (2). At 20, one
tries to find oneself. At 30, one works for
oneself. At 40, one can start being altruistic. In fact, at the beginning of the year,
she went to India to film a documentary
about the education of young girls from a
rural area. Digging a well at a school allows girls to bring water home and learn
how to write. It can change lives. Has
she ever held a camera? Never, but Im
hard-working, I have an obsessive fear of
deception, and Im too respectful of people who trust me, not to work. All in all,
what is a Parisienne? A girl who always
has the last word, but makes you think
that she doesnt, a girl whose motto is:
how to be yourself, but better! Afterall,
who would know better?

Get rid of any sand or salt with a restorative shampoo, then apply
a leave-in treatment to towel-dried hair. This will protect your hair
and allow the active ingredients to work overnight, leaving hair
silky smooth. For dry or dyed hair, go for a nourishing day mask.
If its curly or brittle, apply an intensive leave-in mask. Using a
fine-tooth comb, make a central parting and smooth your hair back
behind your ears. If needed, add some mask cream to the lengths
and tips these are the areas that get most dehydrated.
TAMING MASKS: La Crme, Opalis: we love its almond
fragrance and the fact that it hydrates hair immediately,
so theres no need to wait. Moroccanoil masks contain argan oil,
a key ingredient for damaged or frizzy hair, and come in three
different nourishing formulas (light to intensive). Masque ternit,

After doing our 8,000 steps per day,
the 21 muscles, 31 joints and 7,200
nerve endings in our feet are crying
out for help. And once summer arrives,
60% of French women no longer dare
LISTEN TO
THE FOOT GURU
Barefoot king Bastien Gonzalez, the founder of the foot and hand care brand
Rvrence de Bastien, has persuaded celebrities and princesses to kick off their
shoes. This foot hygienist says we should care for our feet just as we look after
our teeth. Heres some of his advice for women who cant live without their heels.
In the evening, spend at least 10 minutes walking barefoot and take a few steps
on your heels to stretch out your calves.
Every evening, stretch and separate your toes, pushing them down before massaging the fat pads with a moisturising lotion to keep the cushion soft.
You dont need to be a chiropodist to give yourself a great foot massage. Using
a cream, knead the heels and pads of your feet with your thumbs, pressing in
the centre of the arch to stimulate circulation and around the nail matrix, then
stroke upwards from the ankle to the calf, always towards the heart.

TOES
Nails should be short and
square, with slightly rounded
edges, painted the perfect
ultra-glossy colour.
Say goodbye to French
pedicures, colour blocks,
neon colours and glitter.
Nail art is still allowed
as long as its subtle.
You cant go wrong with
flesh colours, corals
or orangey-reds, but this
summer, blue-green shades
are making a comeback,
from celadon to navy and
turquoise. If youre feeling
brave, try canary-yellow,
lemon, straw, or mimosa
you have to be very tanned
to pull it off. Neon pink gloss
polishes are also trendy.
Your fingers and toes dont
have to match, but avoid
flag combos.
What about semipermanent gel polishes that
last for over a month without
needing touch-ups?
They come in handy every
now and then, like when you
go on holiday, but shouldnt
be used year-round.
To remove them, you have
to soak your nails in acetone
for 10 minutes, which
isnt good for them.

122
A DELOS ISLAND
HOUSE WITH A DASH
OF BELLE POQUE
EXTRAVAGANCE
real declaration
of love and veritable ode to Ancient Greece, Villa Kerylos is a dream carved in stone and an invitation to travel.
Located on the tip of the Baie des Fourmis, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the villa looks
like the bow of a ship. Surrounded by
123
Villa Kerylos
could date
back to
ancient
Greek times
although
inside,
it has all the
mod-cons.
niture and upholstery designs are inspired by antique texts of iconic scenes
and famous tales of Gods and classical
heroes. The villa also boasts a central
gallery of 12 Carrara marble columns,
which opens on to a patio, kept cool
by a water basin, and leads to another
four rooms. The library, located in the
east wing, with three French windows
to make the most of the morning light
when working, is the villas most impressive room. Sunlight streams in while
the sea stretches out below. The Bettenfeld furniture is made from exotic woods
(Australian plum tree, Japanese angelica-tree, American walnut tree), the
highlight being the Pleyel piano, hidden
in a chest inlaid with lemon tree wood
(a purist, Thodore Reinach would never
have had random pieces of furniture).
Oikos, Triklinos, Amphityros, every room
has a Greek name. Upstairs, the bedrooms are separated by two luxurious
bathrooms, that of Theodore, with its
Pompeian red walls and small Erotes,
and his wifes, Fanny, which looks out
to the Cap Ferrat and its cake-shaped
dwellings (an architectural peculiarity
from the Rivieras 1900s aristocratic
heyday), like the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. In fact, the two families are
tied Fanny is Charles Ephrussis niece however, their houses are radically different. One, more showy, appeals
to Russian tycoons who like to rent it
out for marriage proposals, while the
other is a paragon of refinement that
can be privatised for a simple tte-tte on the terrace, which blends with
the seas azure blues. And as Rimbaud
once said, Eternity is the sea together
with the sun.
