Paris Pinks

Paris pinks, original art,5" x 7"
Can you think of another town where pink is so prevalent as Paris?

 
  An entire shop in pink. Why are they closed?
ouvert tous les jours, sauf le mardi, jusqu’à 19H30
 
Pink writing on the wall!
Only in Paris.

Of course there has to be pink perfumes in the town where they say "La vie en rose (pink)" after saying "C'est la vie.."

Jeff Koon's pink hound could not be more at home here.

Shocking pink walls at Musee Nissim Camondo are not so shocking.


Patisserie Stohrer Very pale pink macarons at Patisserie Stohrer.  
Patisserie Stohrer And some very nice pink jambon too

 Just across the rue on Montorgueil, more pink pig at Maison Collet.

For Xmas, Galerie Lafayette's windows were full of P I N K!

An utterly wacky tea party was going on.

Do take your chaises please...

Note how the guests are looking out the window at the viewers. Ha!

And the viewers were captivated by all that pink.

Upside down pink flamingos resting on a strawberry tarte!?
Paris pinks.
Bonne Journee!

  2. What a Pretty in Pink post. I kept looking for Molly Ringwald in a bad pink prom dress to be in the window at Galerie Lafayette.

    I tasted my first macaron this weekend on a trip to Paris - it was a chocolate one and was heavenly! Didn't make it to Ladurée, unfortunately, but next time I intend to go there in search of a macaron à la rose ...

  15. Would you believe me if I'd tell you that I saw Jeff Koon's balloon poodle on the Canale Grande in Venice, tethered to Palazzi Grassi?
