Hermès Paris, Centre Pompidou, La Machine du Moulin Rouge,

 

Yesterday I made a special trip to Hermès, 17, rue de Sèvres, 75006

Last Sunday on the way to the AAWE Xmas Bazaar, I caught a glimpse of astonishing snowman ⛄️ windows!

Hermès Christmas decorations this year are the top 🎩 

Many Penguins around town 🐧 Are they IN? I think so 🧐 

Black and white with touches of  orange carrot 🥕 🥕 Unusual.

The most sophisticated I’ve seen yet in my opinion 👌

Of course there is plenty 

Of gifts 🎁 for the horsey 🐎 set

I checked out the children’s books 📚 Reindeer were reading

Brilliantly colorful & designed books bien sur.

You can easily spot sales staff, sashed in Hermès inimitable silk scarves 🧣 Very clever.

I was feeling hungry so peeked in Maison du Chocolat’s window…

And then inside Patrick Roger’s chocolate emporium.

But I needed something substantial…

So I went to Rose Bakery inside Bon Marché 

Their 3-Salads veggie plate is a favorite ❤️ 

I was seated by the escalators, so I doodled ✍️ on the placemat.

Dessert was a matcha cookie 🍪 from Grand Epicerie. 

My Thanksgiving 🦃 was spent at Centre Pompidou sketching the wild dancing 🕺free-for-all. 

They have once a month free evenings for the kids, with a canteen, special exhibitions, a DJ 🎵 set from La Machine Moulin Rouge ( not the red windmill). 

You simply register online. 

Then come get on the line. 

Luckily I was browsing in the bookshop and ended up in the balcony snackbar sketching…Not so easy with constantly moving bodies but a big dopamine hit 

The soiree goes on till 11:30 🕦 I left at 8 pm

For some steaming Ramen soup 🥣 It was cold 🥶 out.

❤️ Bon Dimanche dear PBers 🐻
