#1: American Vintage brown
This autumn/winter 2024-2025 season, the Marseille brand unfurls its essentials in timeless colours, strongly inspired by nature. So, it’s only natural that we find several shades of brown in knitwear or cotton – for kids, women and men.

#2: The restaurant Double
Inaugurated in 2024 in the 18th arrondissement, Double describes itself as a micro-restaurant with only 12 seats. Behind the chocolate façade, chef Tsuyoshi Yamakawa concocts dishes that cleverly fuse Italian cuisine and Japanese influences.

#3: Chocolate mousse
Whether it’s made with extra-dark chocolate, a drizzle of olive oil or sprinkled with salt flakes, chocolate mousse is one of those desserts we never get tired of. What’s more, it can be whipped up in just a matter of minutes. However, once the egg whites are mixed with melted chocolate, you do have to wait several hours before digging in.

#4: Works by Nicolas Floc’h
This year, during Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, the French artist presented Fleuves Océan: colourful shots mirrored by Mississippi landscapes. Amongst the tones of his palette, he explored the lightest to the darkest shades of brown.

Designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, Maison Louis Carré was once inhabited by the eponymous art dealer. Inside, you can notably discover a sublime library, in which books sit carefully on lovely wooden shelves.
