Desperately Seeking Bleu, Blanc, Rouge 🇫🇷

 

The day after 

Bastille Day

I went looking for 

BLEU 

BLANC 

Et ROUGE 

Desserts. 

The best place to look 

Was Galeries Lafayette Gourmet. 

Sadly, I didn’t find anyone wearing blue-white-red 🇫🇷 🙄 

But down the escalator 

I found a slew 

Of patriotic vinegars, 

Teas, 

Chocolates,

Eiffel Towers!

Mustards, biscuits 🍪 

Etc.

I thought there Must be more FRENCH patriotic goodies, so I went to Printemps across the street. They no longer have a Food Hall (inconveniently on the 8th floor). 

All I found was this Chanel outfit 🇫🇷

Ah Ha! Thé Élysées Palace

Recently opened 

A boutique/museum/cafe at 88, rue Faubourg Saint Honoré

With TONS of chic-looking gifts 🎁 

Some even reasonably priced (12€) 

I was tempted…

The museum area is small, but succinct.

Want a portrait of your dog 🐶 or cat 🐱 at the president’s desk?

A nice video showing changes to the Élysée Palais - a new winter garden created by Daniel Buren. There is AC!

Of course there are French 🇫🇷 bears 🐻

There is a café up stairs.

A few Revolutionary
