Interior designer Julie Asselin, who knows Florida well and has spent several winters there, gives us access to magnificent homes in this American state in her series Luxury in the sun.
She invites us to watch the first season, which will be presented at CASA from Thursday November 9th at 9 p.m.
“We wanted to give viewers the opportunity to see magnificent backdrops. The goal is to inspire people, make them dream and take them on a journey,” said Ms. Asselin, who is also a decorator and stylist.

Interior designer Julie Asselin hosts the show “Luxe au soleil,” which makes us travel and dream by visiting magnificent Florida properties.
She herself is impressed on the show and can’t believe that she has access to so many magnificent palaces thanks to all the designers and all the Florida real estate agents she knows. This is the case of Pierre Couture, Carmen N. D’Angelo, Sophie Ghedin, Frank Herz, Mélanie Kimpton and Marco Laterreur, who help the team open doors such as those of the Porsche Tower and the house of designer Tommy Hilfiger .
“There are a lot of houses in the series that belong to Quebecers, but we don’t name them,” Ms. Asselin revealed in an interview with the QMI Agency, saying that she herself had “experienced the lives of rich and famous people” there. another time. “I lived in the West Palm Beach area for 10 years and in the Boca Raton area for 10 years.”

Julie Asselin was a regular at the chic The St-Regis Bal Harbor, where she took us to see “Luxury in the Sun.” She also visits the Palm Beach Show, where works of art, jewelry and antiques stand side by side. The designer experiences strong emotions as she puts a 100-carat diamond worth a modest $20 million on her finger.
“I did the series because I like sharing happiness and great deals,” added the woman who founded Recevoir magazine at TVA Publications.
Porsche Tower and Tommy Hilfiger Palace
During the 13 episodes produced by Zone3 in collaboration with Quebecor Content, the friendly presenter takes us, among other things, through a penthouse in the Porsche Tower, where 22 billionaires have settled. These people with deep pockets can admire their Rolls-Royce, their Ferrari or their Lamborghini from their unit, thanks to huge windows that look out onto a garage attached to their unit after a freight elevator lifts their shiny cars to their floor.
In the first episodes we also visit fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger’s house on the island of Palm Beach, where the famous owner has left nothing to chance.
We’re talking about real estate worth a small fortune, up to 55 million Canadian dollars.

Each episode, directed by Félix Trépanier, features pop music reminiscent of the “Selling Sunset” recipe. However, unlike the Netflix show, there is no drama in “Luxury in the Sun.”
Julie Asselin wants to do more seasons in places “where there is sunshine because it’s good for the soul.” She specifically mentioned other sectors of Florida and even California.
Next January she will launch her own company, Luxe Julie Asselin Design. She will initially offer lighting fixtures and promises that despite their luxurious finish, they will not be overpriced. She teamed up with Marco Laterreur, who we see in the series.
