BESIDE Magazine

Créer des ponts entre l'humain et la nature.

Là où nature et culture se rencontrent

BESIDE est un média indépendant à la croisée de la nature et de la culture. Nous proposons des essais personnels, des récits de terrain et des idées — anciennes et nouvelles — pour trouver de meilleures façons de vivre dans le monde.

Imaginé à Montréal en 2016, BESIDE est né du désir de créer une marque d’influence mondiale à l’intersection de la nature et de la culture. Le projet a pris une ampleur considérable, avec une offre atypique : BESIDE a en effet développé une expertise à la fois dans l’édition et dans l’hôtellerie en nature.
