Lodestars Anthology - 02.2018

Lodestars Anthology is a magazine-meets-journal for curious travellers who long to see, eat around, chat about and experience this big old world of ours. It is a magazine about place, travel and exploration, one that you’d ideally like to keep on your coffee table – or filled with scribblings and safely stored in your suitcase. It is independently published, distributed internationally and dedicated to exploring the globe one country per issue. Driven by photographs, illustrations and personal musings, we hope it fuels you love of adventure, life and all the people, destinations and ideas this world has to offer.

*** Within these pages you will find all things archetypically French, from snow-covered chalets, mighty châteaux and fromage, to every variety of wine a connoisseur could desire. But you’ll also encounter the unexpected - foodinspired jaunts through the Pyrénées-Orientales, journeys across the Alps in the footsteps of literary giants and a coastal road trip that pays homage to the elegance of yesteryear. This is a country of jasmine harvests, market splendour, Parisian decadence, fairy tale islands and adventure; a place to chase light and history and appreciate the marvels of terroir and creative daring. Full of the singular, serendipitous and spectacular, France, je t’aime. ***
