Feeling love everywhere, the sexy rendition of the early 1960s French pop hit, Zou bisou bisou, “Oh, kiss kiss.” In your Chanel summer dress strolling along the luxurious seaside town of Biarritz near the French border with Spain. A look that is feminine and simple in a palette of azure blues and metallic golds does not go unnoticed, a natural sense of elegance and charm — dazzling and fascinating. Drift along the beaches and town that launched Chanel’s career, a French city popular with Europeans and now a prime destination for surfers from around the world. Step into the old summer residence of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie, Hôtel du Palais, which sits atop the coastline. You feel it everywhere. Little kisses. Kiss, kiss, kiss.
