    They went for the croissants. What they got was a lesson in parenting 'French style'

    They went for the croissants. What they got was a lesson in parenting 'French style'

    When writer Rachael Mogan McIntosh and husband Keith moved their family to the south of France for a year abroad, they were hoping for a bit of ambience and exposure to a new language. Instead, they found themselves in an 'opposite world' which caused them to question everything about their parenting style and the 'Australian way' we relate to our children.

    Hotel Legends: Provence’s Villa La Coste

    Hotel Legends: Provence’s Villa La Coste

    On this week’s episode, Melissa transports us to the South of France for a conversation with international hotelier Paddy McKillen about art, wine, architecture, and his passion project in Provence, Château La Coste. 

    Villa La Coste, a 28 suite boutique hotel, sits on the grounds of the extraordinary 600-acre estate, Château La Coste, where you will also find an open-air contemporary art museum and winery. 

     

    In this episode, you'll learn how Paddy went from working at his parent’s motor repair company in West Belfast to transforming a 300-year-old winery in the South of France into a wine estate and contemporary art park with a boutique 5-star hotel and incredible restaurants on site, including one from the Argentine celebrity chef and king of outdoor cooking, Francis Mallmann. 

     

    Between the outdoor art complex and culinary offerings, plus the state-of-the-art spa, immaculate pool area, and ultra-chic accommodations, there is good reason Melissa is excited to highlight the hotel and the massive art park at Chateau La Coste. It features works by some of the most notable names in contemporary art and architecture, with sculptures and buildings from Frank Gehry, Tadao Andao, Louise Bourgeois, Andy Goldsworthy, Tracy Emin, Sean Scully, and Ai Wei Wei, to name a few.

     

    The South of France is home to an expansive world of art. On this week’s Destination Hack, Melissa takes you on a tour of inspiring locations, fabled collections, and natural phenomena across Provence. 

     

    Melissa’s Art Recommendations in Provence: 

    Towns of note: Aix en Provence, Arles, and Les Baux

    Art and Life on the Midi, Antibes, Picasso, de Stael, Matisse

    Art and Life on the Midi, Antibes, Picasso, de Stael, Matisse

    "When a painter is obsessed by a view or an idea, no wind, no elements can stop him" - Gustave de Stael

    Welcome to Episode #33

    This little foray into the south of France was a delight to write up once the writing process began.  I couldn’t hold back but take a deep dive into the French Riveria and its artistic legacy which indeed is quite vast.  When I discovered a few years back that the Picasso Museum was on the train line somewhere between Nice and Marseille in France well it was a given.   There is much to say that is undoubtable and there a number of directions one could go in.  In truth Antibes, Juan Les Pins came on my radar over the past few years after reading about Pablo Picasso and Francoise Gilot. 

    Later I discovered the writings of Picasso’s biographer John Richardson and the film Surviving Picasso.  This particular share is full of Art and Life, mine and theirs,  and of course the joy of a family day free to travel in the delightful city of Antibes on the Cote D’Azur; something I would recommend to any one who loves a deep blue sky and a seascape that travel dreams are made of.
