The second volume in the Art of Travel series invites you to experience the cultural hotspots of France, with its best-loved artists as your tour guides. Imagine hurrying down the corridors of pre-revolutionary Versailles in the company of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, the most sought-after portraitist of her day. Who will you meet as you drop in at her studio? The Duchess of Polignac, one of the great beauties of the Ancien Régime, or the ill-fated queen herself, Marie Antoinette? Or fast-forward to the 19th century, to the Provence of Cézanne and Van Gogh, before moving on to the French Riviera, where for six months Picasso made his home. With twelve chapters, each devoted to an artist or group of artists, and accompanying itineraries, you can immerse yourself in their world, wandering in and out of palaces, grand residences and artist’s studios to admire their work in situ – all from the comfort of your armchair.

The poet John Betjeman coined the phrase ‘church crawling’ to describe his days out visiting churches. In the spirit of Betjeman, Rachel Morley’s book captures the magical experience of poking around a dusty village church, only to have it transform – through her expert eyes – into a portal to the past, one that brings England’s people and history to life in the most colourful, moving and unexpected ways. Through their wall-paintings and monuments, their graffiti and plaques, their jumble of furniture and curios, Morley shows these buildings to be the expression of centuries of communal memory and folk culture – time capsules of connection to ancient and medieval ways of thinking, to revolutions and wars, to lives both glorious and humble.

Each chapter introduces a set of landscapes that echo the stories you love, from shadowy realms to magical settings. With every page, you’ll collect places to dream about, or even visit.

In this intimate and evocative edition, Yorn Michaelsen offers a firsthand account of the glamorous golden age of working with designer Christian Dior. Paris, 1956: the undisputed capital of elegance and the avant-garde. At twenty-one, Jürgen Michaelsen stepped through the doors of the House of Christian Dior where the eponymous designer—captivated by his passion and sensitivity—hired him on the spot. Dior dubbed him Yorn and invited him into the rarefied world of Parisian haute couture. In this exceptional, first-hand account, Michaelsen recounts the magic of the ateliers, the restless energy of the studios, and the intimate world behind-the-scenes, where models, premières d’atelier, and celebrated clients brought the master’s creations to life. He chronicles the feverish preparations for the collections, the anxious anticipation of the shows, the charged atmosphere of the Haute Couture salons, but also the quiet gesture
