Paris Spring Fever

It hits you hard. You want to snooze but Solli said, Come to the Rodin garden.
 

The bunnies were bouncing around undaunted.
 

There are still chocolate Easter bunnies in many windows btw. These at Jacques Genin, rue du bac.

The cavalry come out in full regalia for Spring in Paris - la Garde Republicaine holding up traffic on my street.

Stripes are out in Spring green.

Les marinieres shirt tails are hanging out.

And les trenches.

Get out your denim jacket please. It's Spring.

Some people are going a little overboard with the warm weather maybe?

Almost no shoes.
 

Striped shoes that cost a fortune in Bon Marche windows.

Red shoes work it.

There's a cheesy scarf store in Metro Chaussee d'Antin. Last month they had terrific graphic black and white Audrey Hepburn scarves. Yesterday fun fashion illustration scarves....almost bought it.

 Les fraisiers are out big time.

Les radis are out all year long in Paris but especially vibrant in Spring.

The first pivoine/peonies.

A lovely fleurist

In the Marais, Vertige.

Yesterday Jill Colonna of Teatime in Paris gave me a lesson making choux. (More to come on that). After baking Jill took me to Parc Corbiere, le Pecq. You pick tulips and make a donation to cancer research.

They trim and wrap them up for you. I've been painting tulips all day instead of going outside  for more Spring Fever.
If you want a tulip watercolor you can renew or buy a new subscription to Paris Sketch Letters.
Are you having Spring Fever too?
