More than just buildings, these famous homes and hotels are the repositories for extraordinary visions, hopes and extraordinary stories. They are extraordinary sites, secret places, legendary homes and hotels. But these legends only exist thanks to the people who bring them to life.
In this series, we tell the stories of these incredible buildings. Meet the passionate men and women who live, work and maintain these places. Owners who are committed to preserving them, passing them on from generation to generation; janitors who know every detail; craftsmen who pamper them; little hands who contribute to their greatness every day…
Beyond their own history and through their characters, all these places tell the story of their territory: they are anchored in their region and in the reality of today’s France. The Michelin-starred chef of a grande maison prepares the menus for a school canteen, an exclusive luxury hotel brings life to a shopping district… These stories are the essence of this collection, as are the memories linked to the places that make up their prestige.
From the opulent resort of GoldenEye in Jamaica to the famous Ritz Hotel in Paris or the castles of the Guyot Family, let yourself escape to a world of luxury and beauty.
