"Rising trends": chef Gérald Passedat's Mediterranean cooking
A stopover at the "Petit Nice", which contrary to what you might think from its name, is located in Marseille. It's the restaurant of chef Gérald Passedat, custodian of traditional Mediterranean cooking and an opportunity to sample forgotten fish such as forkbeard or sea anemones. At the "Petit Nice", everything is line-fished that very day!

"A potted history" of Chanel N°5
The only thing Marilyn Monroe wore to sleep in... was Chanel N°5. This mythical perfume is a veritable concentration of sensuality. One drop is enough to dress the most naked of women.

"Rising trends" : Recycling in Brazil
In Brazil, sustainable development inspires artists. Jewellery designers, painters or fashion designers, they stimulate their creativity by feeding it with totally recyclable materials. For them, all materials are noble, especially if they protect the planet. An ecological and militant approach, as well as a philosophical one. They make waste valuable, in a country badly affected by deforestation, and where economic inequalities are among the most extreme in the world.

"What to do with" chocolate ?
We asked Pierre Hermé what to do with a product that has become synonymous with today's destination. For Belgium, we've chosen to concentrate on chocolate. The top French pastry chef creates a recipe especially for Chic.

"Insights" : A very chic prison
In Oxford, the Malmaison Hotel located in the heart of the university town is set within the confines of an old prison that is listed as a historical building. Between its keep and its brick walls, the architect and interior designer have preserved its old look and the history of the existing buildings.
