What They Wore to Hermès Fall-Winter 2025 Show

 

Yesterday I dashed out the door…late (at 2:30) hoping to catch the DOG & CAT SHOW at Porte de Versailles. Instead of entering the Metro, I ran to buy a snack at Franprix. 

Huge crowds, black limos, police, mayhem on Boulevard Henri IV?! 

I asked, ‘What’s up?’ 

‘La mode’ said someone trying to cross the street.

Adventures in the Louvre by Elaine Sciolino, Couture Exhibit

 

I went to the Louvre on Wednesday to gather more research for Elaine Sciolino’s new book map for ‘Adventures in The Louvre’.

And to see the new Couture exhibit. 

Salon International de l'Agriculture & Flow

 

Last day of the Salon. I’m posting this on site. Chickens 🐓 & cows 🐄 are clucking & mooing in the background. It’s a tape to put us in a farmy mood.

I planned to come yesterday…but I went to see the movie 🐈‍⬛ FLOW…instead. More to come.

Salon International de l'Agriculture 2025

 

Saturday was opening day of the annual Salon de l’Agriculture.

Going EARLY as possible is always a good idea 👍 

Pâtisseries Françaises Stamps Letter

 

Last month the French poste came out with a carnet/booklet of 12 pastry stamps .

And I got all excited.

A Night At The Opera

A very kind PBer invited me yesterday to a night at the opera 👏

And for a late dinner after 🥂

My Paris Life This Week

I just got back from Piscine Pontoise this morning.

I have not been for months and months but it sure felt good to get my feet 🦶 wet.

Mille & une orchidées 2025, Jardin des Plantes

Today is the inauguration of the annual Mille et Une Orchidées 

Exhibition at Jardin des Plants.

Angoulême Comics Festival, 52nd edition

 I took the TGV crack of dawn 🕕 to Angoulême on Thursday morning to my first Festival de Bande Dessinée!

But first things first. In town I headed to the best chocolate shop (from 1897) Chocolatier Duceau.
