Early autumn in France is a celebration of elegance, creativity, and joie de vivre. From Paris to the Riviera, from the cliffs of Normandy to the historic streets of Arles, each destination unveils experiences that blend art, fashion, music, and heritage. At Découvertes DMC France, we bring you closer to the moments that make France sparkle.
Art & Inspiration
Panta Rhei – Jean-Pierre Formica, Les Alyscamps, Arles
Among the haunting Roman necropolis of Arles, Formica places salt sculptures, bronzes, and paintings in dialogue with ancient ruins. A meditative, almost spiritual encounter where past and present dissolve into one timeless experience.
Rituels – Jean-Pierre Formica, Galerie Regala, Arles
This parallel exhibition explores Formica’s themes in a more intimate setting, offering a closer, tactile connection with his work.
Brazil Illustrated – Maison de l’Amérique Latine, Paris
Fifteen contemporary Brazilian artists reinterpret colonial visions of Jean-Baptiste Debret, producing vibrant, challenging, and modern artworks that bring Brazil into sharp focus.
Fashion & Lifestyle

This exhibition highlights Alaïa’s 2003 couture collection, showcasing around thirty pieces alongside archival documents, photos, and videos that reveal his sculptural approach to fashion.
La Trésorerie Rive Gauche, Paris
After a decade of cult status on the Right Bank, this temple of contemporary living now opens on the Left Bank. Discover design treasures from Noguchi lamps to French-crafted essentials, and inventive furniture for small Parisian apartments.
The Gourmet Bookstore – Paris

Tressé Boutique – Saint-Tropez
After Cannes and Aix-en-Provence, Tressé lands in Saint-Tropez with sun-kissed dresses, handmade ceramics, and travel-inspired accessories. This season’s collection channels the blues and whites of Greece — a suitcase of Mediterranean chic.
Nature, Music & Culture
Festival d’Automne – Paris
Every autumn, Paris hosts the renowned Festival d’Automne, a multidisciplinary event celebrating music, theater, dance, and visual arts. In October 2025, the festival’s music program will spotlight contemporary creations, intimate concerts, and unique performances across some of the city’s most iconic venues, from Théâtre du Châtelet to the Philharmonie de Paris. This is the perfect occasion to experience innovative artists and immerse yourself in a vibrant atmosphere where tradition meets cutting-edge experimentation.

Step into an urban adventure: guided walks explore art, architecture, and culture along future metro stations, turning Paris into a vast outdoor gallery.
Focus Royan: The 1950s Architecture Tour – Royan
Rebuilt after WWII, Royan reinvented itself as a model of postwar modernism. Guided tours reveal masterpieces from Villa Spirou to the futuristic central market, all bathed in white concrete and optimism.
