Last summer, I spent the second half of the season wandering through the South of France and the coast of Spain—and I came back changed. The Mediterranean lifestyle softened me, grounded me, and helped me step into the most radiant version of myself—mentally, emotionally, and yes… physically. It wasn't about restriction or hustle. It was about pleasure. Beauty. Slowing down. Eating better. Living better. DOWNLOAD: Mediterranean Goddess Glow Up Guide Here This summer? I'm staying home. But that doesn't mean I'm letting go of that dreamy, elegant, European rhythm.

Once a year, movie fans from near and far flock to the French Riviera resort of Cannes to catch a glimpse of their favourite celluloid stars: real stars, in the flesh. They've always seemed larger than life – particularly on a big screen –but now, in the age of virtual reality, what exactly is real? These days, what still resonates as authentic in the make-believe world of cinema? The Hollywood actors and screenwriters' strike of 2023 was in large part about technology encroaching on artistic creation: stealing the hard work of some, pushing others out of a job. So, is artificial intelligence good or bad for movies and movie making?And what about the spectator? What kind of demand exists in the digital age? And with so much of the planet spending hours a day already on screens, how is that changing not just film but humanity as a whole?Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Annarosa Zampaglione.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that would eat Anne Hathaway's toilet french fry. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about why the 2019 crime comedy The Hustle Should've Been Gay. This movie is 90 minutes of Anne Hathaway (Josephine) and Rebel Wilson (Penny) flirting in the French Riviera while occasionally committing crimes against men with the help of Jo's policewoman lover (that we're 99% sure lives with her) and a sassy old gay butler. If you're looking for a comedy with sapphic energy that doesn't really require any brain power and isn't incomprehensibly 3 hours long, The Hustle should be at the top of your list. This may be a Should've Been Gay, but lesbihonest, there is not one straight woman in the entire movie. For women who spend a lot of their time seducing men, they really could not be less interested in them. Hell, Josephine doesn't even sleep with any of them! Only Anne Hathaway could convince three obscenely rich men to propose to her without even putting out. She is maybe too powerful– we didn't even flinch at that toilet french fry scene. When Jo isn't radiating sex (without actually having any) in order to swindle some rich guy out of millions, she's parading Penny around on a leash to assert her dominance. Hot. While the vibes for Penny are more chaos-bisexual, Josephine is giving full high femme, lesbian dominatrix energy and we are SEATED. Together, they make a hilarious and surprisingly effective conwoman team. And what could be better than sapphics swindling immoral rich men out of their millions? By the end of the film they are in a full on power-throuple with a man that gives even Penny a run for her money on bi-vibes (and who is a direct descendant of someone whose crime code-name is Medusa- yep, the man-hating snake-haired woman who turns men to stone with one look).  As we watched the newly formed polycule sail off into the beautiful Capri sunset with their stolen riches, we just had one thought– The Hustle Should've Been Gay.

The Cannes Film Festival is set to screen two Xizang-related films peddling separatism under the guise of spirituality and ethics. Are these films what they claim to be? Who are the people behind these productions? Have they actually been to Tibet or Xizang and seen it with their own eyes? What do those who live in Xizang today say about their lives, those who have no voice in the star-studded halls and alleyways of the French Riviera?

In 2017, Saudi Arabia's ambitious, young leader, Mohammed bin Salman, unveiled Neom: a futuristic new city Saudi Arabia would build in the desert. Neom would be a hotspot for tourism like the French Riviera, a center of innovation like Silicon Valley, and a global melting pot like Dubai. It would help transform the Saudi economy. But over the years, that already bold plan grew even more ambitious.   In the first of two episodes about Neom, WSJ's Rory Jones and Eliot Brown explain how an effort to pivot the Saudi economy away from oil grew to encompass plans for a desert ski resort and skyscrapers the length of Connecticut. Plus we hear from two people who uprooted their lives and moved to Neom to help make MBS's dream a reality.

Viognier is a full-bodied white wine. Primary flavors of tangerine, peach, mango, honeysuckle, and rose. Cooler climate styles have greater citrus and floral traits with more acid and crispness. These wines are typically aged in stainless steel. Warmer climate Viognier is barrel aged, goes through malolactic fermentation, and therefore has richer tastes such as apricot, rose, and vanilla. These wines have less acidity and more creaminess. Viognier has become more popular in recent years with more plantings in California. Languedoc in the South of France is located south of the Rhone Valley and stretches to the Mediterranean Sea. It is west of Provence and the French Riviera along the Mediterranean and extends west into the Pyrenees Mountains. Tonight, we try these three wines from Trader Joe's. 2023 Honey Moon Viognier, purchased for $5.99. Aromas of peach, apricot, and honeysuckle. Flavors of honey, mango, and nectar. Floral scents, lush, full-bodied. This wine comes from California. 13.5% alcohol. Pairs with many cheeses, fish, white meats, and spicy foods. Hard to find much information, but two websites said it does not have residual sugar, even though it has a sweet taste. Many reviews also said it is a great summer sipper all by itself. Both of us scored this wine a 2 out of 5. 2024 Carayon La Rose is from the Languedoc in the South of France. Trader Joe's had this wine for $6.99. It has strawberry and fruit aromas and tastes. It is crisp yet ripe. It has 12.5% alcohol. Denise scored a 2. Dennis scored a 2023 Rain Cloud red blend from Napa, California. Purchased for $6.99.

Denise scored a 3 and Dennis scored a 2.Next week we will continue our tasting of Trader Joe's wines.

Yuval Yeret has been "tweaking systems" his entire life. From modifying computer operating systems as a teenager to optimizing organizational structures as a leadership coach, his journey reveals the powerful parallels between technological and human systems.In this deeply insightful conversation, Yuval shares how his early exposure to psychology (through typing his mother's academic papers) subtly prepared him for understanding human dynamics in organizational settings. His pivotal moment came while listening to Patrick Lencioni's "Five Dysfunctions of a Team" during a vacation on the French Riviera—a book he couldn't put down because it crystallized what was missing in his struggling leadership team: vulnerability-based trust.The heart of Yuval's approach centers on creating environments where genuine connection can flourish. His practical wisdom shines through in simple yet profound guidance like "do food"—emphasizing how breaking bread together creates essential human connections that virtual environments cannot replicate. Even more transformative is his distinction between giving advice versus sharing experiences. When we tell others what they "should" do, we strip away their agency and autonomy. By contrast, sharing our experiences leaves space for others to make their own choices while still benefiting from our perspective.Yuval's metaphor of shifting from rigid roadmaps to flexible "trail maps" perfectly captures how effective facilitation works—providing options and context without dictating the exact path forward. As he looks toward integrating peer group methodologies into his organizational work, he envisions creating spaces where leaders can share experiences and navigate complex changes together, from agile transformations to adapting to AI integration.Whether you're a leader, facilitator, or simply someone interested in more meaningful conversations, this episode offers practical insights on building trust, preserving agency, and creating the conditions for human systems to thrive. How might your conversations change if you focused more on sharing experiences rather than giving advice?Please visit www.internationalfacilitatorsorganization.com to learn more about Mo Fathelbab and International Facilitators Organization (IFO), a leading provider of facilitators and related group facilitation services, providing training, certification, marketing services, education, and community for peer group facilitators at all stages of their career.

Episode Summary: "Backpacking & Booze – Nice, 1991" In this episode of 420 Reasons Why I Quit Drinking Alcohol, I take a trip down memory lane to 1991, when my cousin and I spent three months traveling across Europe. One month in, we found ourselves on the French Riviera in Nice—soaking up the sun, meeting incredible people, and living on bread, crackers, and cheese just to stretch our budget… so we could drink every night. Join me as I share journal entries from the journey and reflect on how alcohol shaped the experience.

Carl Jackson guest hosts for Dennis... Trump shocks and awes the world with a proposal to turn Gaza into the new French Riviera sans the Palestinians. Is it practical? Probably not. Is it the first original solution to the Gaza dilemma in fifty years? Definitely. Can the Hamas status quo continue? Absolutely not… Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The hosts of the left politics and film podcast Pod Casty For Me, Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine, return to Junk Filter for a supersized episode about Christian Gudegast's Den of Thieves films, starring the new King of January movies Gerard Butler in his greatest role as debauched cop Big Nick O'Brien of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The first Den of Thieves features a cat and mouse plot where Big Nick leads his team of dirty cops against a heist crew planning to rob the Federal Reserve in LA, using their informant Donnie played by O'Shea Jackson Jr., a film that had ardent defenders including the German director Christian Petzold who raised eyebrows when he placed it on his list of the best films of the decade. Coming seven years later, the sequel Pantera takes the story to Europe, where Big Nick tracks Donnie down in the French Riviera as he and his new European gang are planning a complex heist of the World Diamond Center, forcing his way into the crew. We discuss the evolution of the series, how the sequel doubles down on the Dudes Rock qualities of the first film, and reveals how smart this dumb guy series actually is, with all the things it has to say about gang culture in the LA Police, toxic masculinity, and the healing powers of a summer in Europe with your boys as Den of Thieves evolves into an actual action franchise. If the first one feels like a variation on Michael Mann, the second one evokes Rififi, Ronin, Tenet, Clint Eastwood's The 15:17 to Paris and most unexpectedly Richard Linklater's Before series. Plus: we discovered there are two cuts of Pantera in circulation and we discuss their differences. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Anne de Courcy returns to the podcast by popular demand to talk about her astonishing book on Coco Chanel, and the glamorous but dangerous society that she dominated. From the most deprived of backgrounds Chanel conquered the worlds of fashion and perfume. With her fast friends, wealthy and titled lovers and her appetite for the best things in life she basically ran the 'scene' in Paris and the French Riviera. Then war, occupation and the systematic murder of French Jews presented her with some terrible choices.Her decision to work with the occupying authorities and take a powerful Nazi lover has cast a shadow over her reputation. But was her ‘collaboration horizontale' forgivable?

J'nell Ciesielski  joins us for a chat about traveling to Scotland, writers/books that inspire her, the elements of a beautiful romance, and her latest release The Winged Tiara, “a sparkling story filled with her signature snappy dialogue and vivid atmosphere that will keep you reading late into the night to see what happens next.” Don't forget to enter to win a copy of this great book!  About the author: Bestselling author J'nell Ciesielski has a passion for heart-stopping adventure and sweeping love stories while weaving fresh takes into romances of times gone by. When not creating dashing heroes and daring heroines, she can be found dreaming of Scotland, indulging in chocolate of any kind, or watching old black and white movies. She is a member of the Tall Poppy Writers and lives in Virginia with her husband, daughter, and lazy beagle. Questions: Have you ever visited Scotland? (If yes, we'd love to hear about a couple of your favorite places/experiences. If not yet, tell us the place you most want to see and why.) Your bio mentions how you love “weaving fresh takes into romances of times gone by.” What element do you feel makes a beautiful romance?  As with any artistic craft, writers tend to have those whose work they admire or find especially inspiring. What writers or books leave you invigorated and inspired? Is there anything especially interesting that you haven't covered in other interviews that you could share with us or perhaps there is something God has laid on your heart that you would like to share with your readers?  About the Book Now let's take a moment to talk about your latest release, The Winged Tiara. November 12, 1918. It was a match made in champagne-soaked heaven, but all too soon the bubbles dried up, and Esme Fox awakens the morning after celebrating the end of the Great War to find herself shockingly and accidentally married. She gathers her belongings and slips out before her new husband can stop her. After all, she knows it's best to leave before he does. Four years later, Jasper Truitt, after having made a name for himself in the underground world of jewel thieves, is on the hunt for a valuable heirloom: a one-of-a-kind winged tiara–the last Valkyrie tiara ever created. So it's with great surprise that he discovers it at a charity event atop the head of a woman he's never forgotten. His long-lost wife . . . who happens to be pursuing the tiara for a vengeful opera diva desperate to obtain the jewel for herself. The reunion is cut short when Esme vanishes–again–but their separation is temporary. With a hitman on their heels and a deadline looming, the pair find themselves in an epic game of cat and mouse across Europe following leads from the French Riviera to a shop of wonders in Venice, a fairy-tale castle in Bavaria, and a veritable circus thrown by a champagne heiress, all before a dramatic horseback flight through the French countryside. In the end only one can win, and with both of their hearts on the line, the winner may well turn out to be the loser. Lead in>> I LOVE a traveling adventure, and this one covers some really cool European destinations! Of course, there's hardly time for the characters to enjoy it with a hitman after them, but readers are going to have a great time.  Speaking of characters, that blurb actually gives the barest glimpse at them. Behind the champagne and glittering jewels and reckless marriage, who is Esme Fox? About this Valkyrie tiara that so many people want to get their hands on – is it based on an historic jewelry piece? What is its story? The accidental marriage trope also has the potential for a lot of fun, and a lot of heartache. Before the champagne had Esme and Jasper plunging into marriage, what brought these two together? What's next for your writing?
