Paris l'heure bleu

Paris Bleu

Just Paris bleus

Is bleu as prevalent as red/rouge in Paris? Oui...
Je pense oui...
Why not dress head-to-toe in bleu?Or a blue work jacket like Bill Cunningham always wears. Or a tablier en bleu
Bowtie in bleu? Oui bien sur!

MERCI, 111 bd Beaumarchaise, was having a Universal Blue promotion.

Lots of indigos from everywhere.

Nothing but blue skies and blue birds at MERCI.

A not-to-be-missed Odilon Redon (maitre of blues) exhibit at the Grand Palais.

Blue food is a non, non.
But a boite en bleu from Pierre Herme?
Absolutement oui!

BONJOUR BLEU!

Winter Bleus

Where would you rather be chilly? In Paris? Or Minneapolis? The winter bleus are pervasive... Who doesn't want to hibernate under bleu covers?

But given the chance to walk the chilly streets of Paris...

In bleu jeans I might reconsider...

Especially if I had bleu boots like these...

Or interval boots like interval training depending on your mood - just unzip.

Exposing your bleu gloves to make a fashion statement?

Forggedaboutit.

Exposed bleu chat - this is OK.

Polar bears and colds go together like going hatless when it's 20 degrees.

Milk has a blue caste to it so...

Pink roses in a bleu basket at au Nom de la rose?

Parfait.

Swimming pools are naturalement bleu but does yours have a vending machine full of bleu bathing suits for a mere 10 euros? I doubt it. Why didn't I grab one?

Bleu desserts are rare as hen's teeth...

But leave it to Gerard Mulot to come up with macarons bleus!

I think I'll take a chilly Paris...

BONJOUR WINTER BLEUS!

Inside Guerlain

 Visiting Guerlain is quite charmante.Bring on the Champagne 🥂 !

You can wander and sniff Les touches, abundant at good old Guerlain.
More purfs reside then in any most other domains
This joint does contain,
Some 700 purfumes
At almighty Guerlain Go try to make up a poem about Guerlain
I'd rather wear a ball and chain.
I'd rather wear some L'heure Bleu
Then keep up with this inane refrain
This idiotic so-called poem Is far too mundane
To encompass the merveilleux Guerlain
I'll cease and desist

And leave you free rein

To wonder les etages at Guerlain

Malheureusement

An awful lot of words

Rhyme with Guerlain...

Go and spritz to your hearts content...

68 avenue des Champs-Elysées

BONJOUR GUERLAIN!

Guerlain L'Heure Bleue

Are you enthralled with l'heure bleue in Paris too?

Wiki says "The blue hour" refers to the period of twilight in Paris that is neither full daylight nor complete darkness...

Mlle Paradis said...J'adore Guerlain l'Heure Bleue! referring to the perfume... Intense blue is soooo French is it not?
How clever of Guerlain to allude to the most gorgeous time of day in Paris.Photo from Guerlain

In fact, when Jacques Guerlain was creating the perfume in 1912, he was referencing the Impressionists painters he collected... Who captures l'heure bleue better than Monet? Standing in Place Vendome at l'heure bleue is the perfect time of day... Why is Paris so damn poetic?

Hoop la...l'heure bleue est finiBonjour L'heure Bleue!
