November 2024 – Issue 178
Itching for bigger ideas, wiser words, better leaders? Monocle's new issue does the trick: flick open our pages for a refreshing sojourn to Paris's bookshops, an insight into Johannesburg's hard-nosed urbanism and a sit-down with the creative director who turned Bally's fortunes around. Plus: step into the Catalan neighbourhood on the up, hear from screenwriters, diplomats and chef-patrons on the meaning of home, and how the Finns are preparing for uncertain times ahead. There's colour, drama and a commitment to a sharper future – Monocle's November issue is here.
France: The Monocle Handbook
France: The Monocle Handbook, the third instalment in our series of country guides, takes you on a tour of our most cherished Gallic spots. We have traversed the mainland to scout out the creme de la creme of the nation’s bounty. Come with us to Marseille and Montpellier, Biarritz and Brittany, with stopoffs in the Alps and along the rugged coast of Corsica. Break bread at both new and established bistros, visit luxury ateliers with a discerning eye for design and check in to Paris’s most storied hotels and metropolitan boltholes. Plus: we toast the nation’s vineyards, the cultural spots honouring France’s artistic heritage and the plucky retailers setting up shop in the country’s second cities. Fancy staying a while longer? We'll take you through the places in which to linger, should you wish to put down roots. France is the world’s most visited country, and for good reason.

Konfekt is a sharp, elegant and well-turned-out new magazine from the creators of Monocle.

Issue 2 will be on newsstands on 8 April. It's brimming with spring looks, city dispatches and important conversations. We scope out a fine vineyard in Porquerolles, profile a Portuguese palace-turned-residence and visit Vienna's 16th-century Spanish Riding School to meet the women behind the reins. There are thoughtful essays, recipes, regimes and a weekend itinerary in Sardinia, plus interiors to covet and interviews with inspiring women. Keen to learn more? Then it's time to turn the page.
