  • Hello and welcome to Monocle on Culture.

  • I'm Robert Bound.

  • Today we're bringing you a very special episode of the show, one of three that celebrates our partnership with Cadillac around the European launch of an all new ev, the Lyriq.

  • Over this series, we'll be taking a road trip, but along the Cote d'azur, that region of sunny beaches, tanned locals, sweeping landscapes and idyllic villages.

  • Yet it's also a place of rich culture and, unsurprisingly, fantastic wine.

  • We'll be starting off in Nice and cruising our way to Cannes.

  • There we'll bathe in the movie magic of the city, stroll the Croisette, and we might even have time for a glass or two of that by this point.

  • Hard earned.

  • I'll be in the driving seat for this trip, but.

  • But along the way, you might also hear the occasional voice of my passengers, Monocle On Culture producer Sophie and our photographer Renault.

  • You'll also hear how the Cadillac lyric sounds.

  • And you know what?

  • It sounds glorious.

  • Smooth, speedy, subtle.

  • It's a Cadillac, after all.

  • These episodes are where culture and Cadillac coalesce.

  • So we'll hear from leading leading voices in the worlds of music, food, art and design.

  • We'll also find out what makes the Cadillac Lyriq a smart, svelte ride.

  • And we'll learn about the creative lives of some of the people responsible for its conception.

  • In a part of the world known for its glamour, its film festival and its natural beauty, the Lyriq turned heads.
