In collaboration with Alex Israel, Louis Vuitton presents Ocean BLVD, a unique invitation to a three-dimensional, iconic walk along Los Angeles Boulevard, as part of the Maison’s Ocean fragrance collection. Alluding to the style of the Californian city, the exceptional piece reflects Alex Israel’s work “Sunset Coast Drive”, a miniature model of a street in 2022.

Apulia, or Puglia in Italian, is an enchanting region in south-east Italy, known for its picturesque coastlines, historic towns and culinary delights. The region stretches along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and offers a rich variety of landscapes and cultural treasures. One of the most fascinating cities in Puglia is Ostuni, often referred to as “the white city”.

The Ionian coast of Calabria is a true paradise for travellers looking for unspoilt nature, crystal clear waters and authentic Italian experiences off the beaten tourist track. This lesser-known coastal region in southern Italy stretches along the Ionian Sea and offers breathtaking scenery characterised by picturesque beaches, charming villages and historic sites.

Lapland, which stretches across the northern regions of Sweden, is a land of unspoilt nature, snow-covered expanses and magical northern lights. This region, which covers a large part of the Arctic Circle, offers visitors unique experiences in one of the most remote and beautiful landscapes in Europe. An outstanding example of innovative tourism in this region is the Treehotel, which impresses with its unusual tree houses and sustainable philosophy.

Imagine walking into a room full of building blocks, vivid colours and joyful music. What do you feel? A sense of lightness, perhaps a small tingle of anticipation? Or do you just think: Right, where shall I start with all this?
Maybe just allow your imagination to run wild and use them to build a house? After all, playing isn’t just for children. Play is also a valuable resource in our adult lives, but it’s so easily forgotten among all the pressure and stress.

The walk into the forest is taken literally here. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, the Hotel des Horlogers not only offers numerous panoramic views of the surrounding sea of spruce trees, you will also come across sculptures made of branches and oversized truffles. The Horloger’s culinary table takes you a little deeper into the forest. Guests are even invited to take off their shoes to feel the moss and wood shavings on the ground with their bare feet.
