Yesterday I went to Sévres-Babylon…

 

MAISON DE CHOCOLAT

Yesterday I took bus 63 to Sévres-Babylon, looking for some Saturday eye 👁️ candy 🍭 

Last week we received tons of snow ⛄️ were buffeted by 22 mph winds 💨 hit with plenty of rain 🌧️ 

Yesterday was simply overcast - Paris grey skies.

First stop - Chocolatier PATRICK ROGER.

Chocolate 🍫 is always cheering even if you just inhale…

Next MAISON DU CHOCOLAT…just looking

I past Hotel Lutetia…

And thought briefly of peeking inside…

But instead went to see 

Hermès Christmas 🎄 windows next door

Inside was traditional Christmas 🎅 

What Hermès did last year 🎄

Comparative analysis is part of my job 🔍 

Which do you prefer? 

Hermès perfumes are color co-ordinated.

Meanwhile inside BON MARCHÉ 

The Winter Sales have begun.

Tremendous bargains starting at 69€

*The HOT look for Spring from Dior.

Absolutely essential. ‘Little French school girl’ 👧🏼 

Meanwhile at BON MARCHÉ, l’artiste of the month is SOOG DONG. 

He hung massive bottle drying sculptures from the ceiling, known as égouttoir à bouteilles Herrison.

Oh la di da…

Desperately thirsty 🤪 by this is time, I was hoping MEERT would still be across the street, 

For a cup ☕️ of hot chocolate like last week.

Too late. This week is tourtes 🥧 

From GROOT. 😕

You can cross from Bon Marché to GRANDE EPICERIE via their ART DÉCO passage way on the 3rd floor.

Inside they were 

Celebrating a BISTRO theme.

At last! Free samples of delicious non-alcoholic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from ALAIN MILLIAT.

🍷

Finally, heading out, I spotted 2 RED RIDDING HOODS…

Look 👁️ a lady trying to read the tea labels on the bottom shelf.

❤️ Life in Paris ❤️
