Think Blanche for La Rentrée

 

On Tuesday I did a little browsing for you at Merci in the Marais

WHITE is IN for Fall 🤔 for la RENTRÉE. Merci ‘immerses you in an entirely white universe.’

After all the PALMIER comments on Friday, I was ready to switch horses & draw ✍️ a Paris Palmier 🗺️ map

So yesterday l left the house early (
11:30) to get a research 🔬 palmier at Boulanger de la Tour (3,30€). Their palmier is #5 best in Paris and a mere 4 minute walk from my house.

Paris Letters - Montmartre or Jardin du Luxembourg

 

Wrestling with the monthly bear 🐻 again creating the latest Paris Letter.

Last Saturday I went to meetup with the ‘Cinema in Montmartre’ tour at Metro Caulaincourt Lamarck but…“The best laid plans oft go awry.” The tour was in fast French. Why had I assumed I’d grasp some of it 🤔 HAHA

Nu comme habillé, musée Delacroix

 

It was fitting that a fashion shoot should be taking place at Place de Furstenburg, 

Near the Delacroix museum,

Where  a small exhibit of paintings, ‘Nu Comme Habillé/Naked As Dressed’ related to fashion and how Delacroix painted fabrics.

Street Walker in Paris

 

Yesterday I went back to see what I’d missed out on Tuesday while near fainting in Hermès.

Place Vendôme
Place Vendôme seemed a good place to start. Might as well start at the top and work down.
