Bear 🐻 Story

 

Joyeuses Fêtes from Paris 🥐

Whether you celebrate or not, I'm sending good wishes to all.

Last Saturday I went on a bear 🐻 hunt. 

Paris loves Bears, especially in Christmas windows like Lindt chocolate. 

I looked in Galerie Lafayette Gourmand & found a hibernating bear cub/bûche de Noël from l’Eclair de Genie. 

BEAR 🐻 naturally came along as consultant.

Naturally we ended up at The Ritz, Place  Vendôme, famous for their teddies 🧸 Did I say it was a glorious day?

The Ritz chalet offers a plethora of Bears 🐻 in all sizes

An influencer was trying desperately to make up her mind on a Ritz bear 🧸keychain (29€)

I asked security at the door, “Where is the big Ritz Bear?” I thought it would be perfect for the new Paris Letter.

“Oh that was last year. This year we have the carrousel!“ Hmm…☹️

I told him I was going to the gift 🎁 shop. That line will always get you in the door 🚪 

The Ritz annual Christmas tree is consistently divine. Designed by their flower specialist, Anne  Vitchen, who also created the Opera tree 🎄

My dear friend Alison used to tell me she would often relax a bit in New York’s grand hotels, so I did Too.

A quick stroll in the Ritz’s private inner court is a must. Serenity now

We headed back out to realité. Sadly, we have not figured out how to waft through Cartier’s portals, also at Place Vendôme.

Back to the drawing board ✏️ 

It’s been bears, bears, bears all week

Youtube got wind & sent me this bears peddling advert. Do you think the French are more bearish than the rest of us? 

Tra-La! The Ritz Bear 🐻 is going into the post 📮 today 🤸‍♂️

It’s time to dream of bears & Christmas stockings.
