« Art de Vivre » is the art of living. More specifically the French « Art of Living ». Although an abstract concept, it is strongly connected to the luxury goods industry. We refer to French luxury as a sector of excellence that merges gastronomy, culture, lifestyle, and historic luxury brands. It is an abstract concept with precise rules: a poetic experience inspired by the special relationship, like NZ, between a land and its people. 

Built on a rich and diverse culture, New Zealand’s « Lifestyle » has a world-class reputation

New Zealanders possess a real affinity with the outdoors. They grew up bare feet on the beach, surfing, sailing, and playing sport. For Kiwis, Aotearoa is their largest playground.
In Māori tradition, Papatūānuku is the land – Mother Earth, who gives birth to all things, including people. Therefore, humans strongly connect to the natural world. At the same time, New Zealand is blessed with some of the most awe-inspiring natural environments. From the beaches to the waterfalls to the mountains, New Zealander’s relationship with the land continues in how they respect it, admire it, and protect it.

One thing we cannot deny is that the French know how to live

The French « Art of Living », as we understand it, is the way you cut the cheese, open an oyster, or serve a drink. It is consuming the joy of food and allowing it to stimulate every one of your senses providing you with immense pleasure.

The outdoors, the French cuisine and creativity are just some of what makes life worth living the French way. The French « Art of Living » is a celebration of culture and creativity that touches every aspect of human pleasures.

New Zealand has some of the finest and freshest food in the world

Some of the finest wines and beers, tastiest cheeses, the freshest seafood, and most succulent lamb. Your taste buds will never be left wanting when dining out on some of the finest cuisines New Zealand has to offer. To complement their exquisite cuisine, New Zealand has a thriving wine industry and burgeoning beer industry. The wine industry already has a fantastic reputation on the international stage, while Kiwi craft beer makers have won awards for their creativity.
