VICTOR DE MONACO

  Summer events are starting in the South of France, and an upcoming gathering includes a Svalbarði Water tasting served at a gourmet wine lunch in the beautiful Èze-village on the Côte d'Azur.

So with summer approaching and being the big fan of cocktails that I am, I have started to try out new original cocktail recipes (especially fruit-based) for my house gatherings.

I have heard about the glamorous city of Deauville from many of my French friends who consider it as the gem of the Normandy region.

So I decided to discover a new part of France, and that is in the evergreen Normandy region. And the first city that came to my mind is Deauville. After asking my Norman friend for travel tips, she said that I HAVE to stay at the iconic Hôtel Barrière Le Normandy Deauville, and so I simply did!

You have definitely heard of luxury and timeless brands like Hermès bags and Audemars Piguet watches. Well, the 209 Mare label is taking the same route but for men’s beachwear.

So lets say it's almost the time of the annual ski vacation, and you are preparing your bag for hitting the slopes of the fabulous white Alpes.

Monaco is a tiny sovereign state with a huge international profile. It’s not only one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean, but it is also one of the most exclusive.
