Yesterday in Paris with Marc

 

Yesterday I stayed in till 4 in the afternoon searching madly for a lost poppy 🌺 watercolor. I finally found it in the poppy file of course.

Then I ran to la poste, and the bank (they are closing early this week). I had plans to go to the movies later at 7:30 🕢 at Lost in Frenchlation.

Christmas Day

 

At the sumptuous Christmas day lunch at Rosemary’s 

Think of the still life exhibit at the Louvre 

Christmas Eve at Angelina, Sebastien Gaudard, Ritz Chalet de Noël

 

As requested more Paris Christmas🌲 I was headed to the Toy Museum in Poissy yesterday, after a dip 🏊🏽‍♀️in the pool. Going to a toy museum around Christmas is always a good idea, but there were perturbations on ligne RER A😧

Change of plans and back to Paris on ligne 1, getting off at Tuilleries.

Last Minute Paris Shopping

 

Yesterday I went looking for gluten-free pain d’épice (on assignment)

I think it doesn’t exist

Le Grand Numero de Chanel

 

Le Grand Numero de Chanel at Grand Palais Ephemere is pretty darn fabulous🎉 A Big Merci💋 to Daina for alerting me to get a ticket last month. 

It’s a complicated circus show to experience and share with you but so exciting and inspiring. 

LV Dream

 

Yesterday I went to the LV Dream holiday show across from Samaritaine.

It’s supposed to be temporary and you need to reserve, but I have a feeling it is here to stay.

Paris Mené la Danse, Samaritaine

 

Ballet shines especially during the holidays. Key chaine from the boutique of l’Opera National de Paris.

I kept wondering if some Paris store would feature ballet, dance or Opera Garnier for their Christmas windows.

Rue Cler, La Fontaine de Mars

Last night I was meeting Karen Schneid and her adorable daughters at La Fontaine de Mars

A quick walk down rue Cler was essential.

Astier de Villatte

 

Last night I needed a mood-elevator. Time to visit Astier de Villatte

For the annual viewing of their Christmas ornaments.

Ballet 🩰 fashion has always been IN

But now anyone can deck themselves out in bits of balletomania 🩰 Pinterest says.

Marché de Noël 2022 - Suedoise

 

Swedish red fish candies (I was addicted to these for years on a daily basis until the dentist suggested otherwise) were about the only Scandinavian contact I had before moving to Paris. How about you? 

Last night Swedish Solli and I went to the annual Noël marché at the Swedish church in the 17th arrondissement.
