Yesterday I tried to get to the new Hockney show at Fondation Louis Vuitton
And somehow ended up in GALLERIES LAFAYETTE GOURMET of all places!
With Easter lurking just around the coin/corner 👌
Speaking of lurking - don’t forget Fr Easter eggs are filled with chocolate goodies inside like this Philippe Conticini egg 🥚
A little sticker shock realité from M. Conticini..
M. Pierre Hermé has a popup shop in addition to his regular stand at GLG…very sculptural this year it appears.
Pray tell me what this says dear PBers 🙏
M.Alain Ducasse is dreaming of fish 🐠 even though Premiere d’Avril is over.
I grabbed some pretty flyers when no one was looking 👁️
The nonexistent Paris squirrel 🐿️ turns up every Easter 🐣
A très charmant écureuil from fab chocolatier, Jean-Paul Hévin.
Very silly animals from Dalloyau,
Somewhat reminiscent of Shaun The Sheep non?
Deluxe Alléno & Rivoire are very serious about chocolate beans, la féve, etc.
They (Parisians) were taking in the sunny day.
So eager for your report on the Hockney exhibition! My favorite living artist. Your e-mails, whatever the subject, always start my day, here in Philadelphia, with brightness, often thoughts of chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHockney is my favorite too 🎨
DeleteIt’s complicated to get there and even the RATP can lead you astray. Other museum nearby were closed as always for Tuesday. So the museum of chocolate called my name 😀
Please let us know what route you take to the Hockney exhibit. I have tickets for the end of may when I will be in Paris .
ReplyDeleteI love the peek behind the curtain of Parisians going about their daily lives as much as I love seeing your cheerful and fun art Carol!
ReplyDeleteI love your Easter chocolate posts, Carol! No one does holiday treats better than the French. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI know you prefer the Metro, but try Bus 73 from the d’Orsay to the ‘Maurice Barres’ stop. It is a 1/2 mile walk on well traveled paths through the Bois to Fondation Louis Vuitton. You may see horses!!
What? What? Did someone say HORSES 🐎 ??
DeleteBonjour Carol
ReplyDeleteLove all your art and maybe most especially your most recent horsey sketches and watercolors they are so good
love starting my day with a bright colorful post from Paris Breakfast so much fun and always a joy 💕 Linda S
Thank you Linda S.
DeleteSo nice to hear 🥰
I always look forward to your report on the Easter chocolates - they are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suki. I used to plan my trips during Easter chocolate 🍫 time. Now I don’t have to worry 😀
DeleteOh I am envious that the Hockney exhibit is there...I like him so much. I do wish that you could have purchased that horsey handbag!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks yummy beyond belief!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us all the fancy French chocolate eggs etc. how disappointed the French must be when they get a nice hollow egg here in Australia! I like all the bright colourful foil ours are wrapped in (we can collect it onto a big ball and put it in our recycling bin).
ReplyDeleteWish you could have got the expensive bag, would have suited your horse sketching well. Love the horse paintings!
Happy Easter
