Opening Night at Salon du Chocolat

 

Thursday night was the inauguration of Salon du Chocolat at convention center Porte de Versailles in the 15th arron. A Chocolate lovers 🍫 must-visit.

Globes 🌎 are in. These from Carre Chocolat- Saint Malo.

Les Gourmandises de l’Automne

Fall, Autumn, l’Automne…whatever you want to call it, came in early October this year in Paris 

The fleuristes’ windows are full of it. This new shop, Studio Maison Ciero just opened near me. Their specialty - creations végétale.

La Galerie Dior

Thursday I went to La Galerie Dior enfin with my sister.

I was a little reluctant after the amazing Dior exhibit at MAD a few years back.

Art Basel Paris

I don’t know how I did it, but somehow or other yesterday; I went to the Ink show at 11, Dior Galerie at 1 (my sister found me inside the Metro! 

This is Guinness book of records material. Usually our meetups are historically such a mixup of delays and getting lost. Does this happen to you when meeting family members?).

Last Night in Paris, Art Basel, Chocolate Box Tour

 

This is the week of the brand new big art show, Paris + Art Basel 

Paris is flooded with artists, buyers, gallerists just like a few weeks ago the town was flooded with buyers, designers, models and gawpers for PFW, Paris Fashion Week. 

Claude Monet - Joan Mitchell | Fondation Louis Vuitton, Soupe

 

Last Friday I met up with Chiyo to see the new Monet-Mitchel exhibit at Fondation Louis Vuitton. 

it was drizzling again but the lush paintings revived us immediately 

Louvre - Les Choses Sill Life

 

The Louvre is always closed on Tuesdays except for a vernissage/an opening

Yesterday I went to the opening of the new exhibit, 

What I ate in Paris this week

I did not get this Sangria at la Fetes des Vendages in Montmartre yesterday but I should have….so pretty

Sunday was one of those classic Fall days in Paris. You cannot stay inside. 

Hôtel Lambert, Une Collection Princière, Sotheby’s

 

Some Summer nights, when Hôtel Lambert was all lit up, I’ve stood on pont Sully and wondered what was going on inside.

Yesterday I looked inside this 61-room hôtel particular or grand private mansion, built in the early 1640s on the Île Saint Louis thanks to Sotheby’s. 

Ines de la Fressange, Happiness book

When Flammarion sent me Ines de la Fressange’s new book, Happiness to review, it seemed a natural to make her into a Paris map like Audrey, Amelie and Holly Golightly.

Back in 2015, by chance I came across Ines de la Fressange at an event for magazine kiosquesin Saint Germain.
