Christmas Day

 

At the sumptuous Christmas day lunch at Rosemary’s 

Think of the still life exhibit at the Louvre 

And Matisse 

Tabletop paintings. Rosemary found those beautiful 19th century glass carafes at l’hotel Drouot auctions. 

There was an absolutely stunning huge Matisse exhibit at the Pompidou I did not report on because Lockdown hit shortly after in October, 2020. I must do something about that…

After our divine lunch I wandered over

To see the department store windows thinking it would be quiet on Christmas day. 

Boy was I wrong! 

Tout Paris en famille was out just like me to catch the windows

It’s always better to view Paris windows at night = no reflection👍

Yesterday after my swim 🏊 at piscine Saint Germain I did a little more window gazing

At patisserie Maison Mulot nearby

I was curious…Yes, they still have Büche de Noël on offer👏

I went inside and flirted with a few things. I walked out with a bag of crispy torsade. Yum My excuse - the pool always makes me famished.

Just across the street is the divine Japanese tea house, Jugetsudo You can take tea there.

They always have wonderful windows to drool over.

Still I went inside and flirted briefly with a little bunny 🐰sitting in sake a box. Ah the joys of window shopping in Paris 😊

Further down rue de Seine Pierre Marcolini still has Christmas windows up. Is that tree solid chocolate? I did not venture inside. Too dangerous 🛑  

Finally coming home, crossing my bridge, Pont Sully…Emerald City’s light show is full on.
