Cheese Day Pavillion Ledoyan, L Maison de Couture

The week I attended L Maison de Couture's show at Circle de l'Union Interalliée.

A fabulous collection Made-ro-order evening gowns Calling Joan Crawford...

Each gown takes well over 300 hours to create. Even more for the embroidery alone.

Lush flowers the perfect accompaniment.

A stunning lineup for L Maison de Couture. And a rave review in Vogue the next day.

Artistic director, Isabelle Moser, an alum of John Galliano and the Christian Dior atelier, comes out for a round of thrilled applause.

My brother-in-law's nephew, Rudine Mottaghian, a co-founder of L Maison de Couture. Why do I have no lace dresses to wear to couture showings?

Monday was the 1st ever www.cheeseday.fr held at Pavillion Ledoyan along the Champs-Élysées 

So many to taste

I would not be surprised if all of France's 300+ cheeses were represented in one room.

We were given large, empty platters, a knife, and wine glass.

Let the tasting begin!

A lineup of Calvados apple brandy from the lightest to the most intense with companion cheeses.

All you can eat and drink of wine and cheese for 15€ from 11am to 11pm.

I'm sure CheeseDay.fr will be back next year. Plan your trip accordingly.

Quite a few PBers have requested to buy just one letter.

Now you can.
The Paris Sketch letter of your choice will ship out in a large flat cardboard envelope. No creases and frame-ready.

Single Paris map letters can be had too. Plus Parisian souvenirs included with both.

End of a wonderful day, the cheering lineup of Russian singers in Concorde Metro.
