Ebb and flow
The Canal St Martin offers a chance to contemplate. And when Paris empties in summer, you’ll have it all to yourself. Get comfy, stay cool and head to the water.
Artistic intake
From a sculpture park to record shops, these are the cultural hotspots to hit this summer.
The Opener
Filming toilets in Japan, an error of biblical proportions and a potato-based conflict.
Culture
The second life of film sets and a preview of the Ukraine Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
Business
A French fashion label with an African soul and a London stationer in praise of going analogue.
Tour de forks
From a Parisian chocolatier-cum-café to a French hideaway in London and a terrific tarte tatin, there is plenty of Gallic flavour to this month’s rundown of restaurants and recipes.
Sleeper hits
Across Europe, new hotels are showing why superior service, not photo opportunities, keeps guests coming back for more.
Snappers’ delight
To mark Monocle's 15th anniversary we've asked 14 faithful photographers in seven key cities to shoot a portrait of one another and share their insights on visual storytelling and photojournalism craft.
The Opener
Kids on heavy machinery, Belgian actress Virginie Efira and irksome train announcements.
Wheel-good factor
We refuel at a Parisian petrol station with great food, coffee and curiosities aplenty.
