Inside Christian Louboutin

So I didn't actually go inside Christian Louboutin on 19 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau 75001, I just browsed like crazy. He opened his shop in 1992, right at 19th century arcade, Galerie Vero-Dodat.
I didn't know Louboutin apprenticed backstage at the Follies Bergère as a teenager. "That’s where I learned that shoes are all about posture and proportion.”Early years Louboutin created shoes for YSL, Chanel, Maud Frizon... His instantly recognizable red soles were the result of grabbing a bottle of nail polish from a nearby assistant. “It didn’t take me long to learn from my customers that the red soles were very popular with men,” Christian Louboutin said laughing. His shoes are like works of art, like sculpture... As is everything inside his shop like this FAB chaise... Does Jennifer Lopez have the same wall of Louboutins at home?

Bear loved this crazy mural of a marauding bear...

At a shoe picnic...

Are these Louboutins in David la Chapelle's picture at Art-Paris?

Do you really need to wear anything else when you have on your Louboutins?
BONJOUR MY LOUBOUTINS!

Le Valentin

#169B Le Valentin,original watercolor

We're still in Passage Jouffroy today.
 

As Miss Sushy kindly reminded me, "I'm sure that you also know the tea room just in front of Pain d'épices: Le Valentin with macarons, and a lot of french pastries."

I certainly do! Who could forget this charming old fashioned salon de the? Or the glorious piece montee de macarons in the window?

I went in early for their chocolat chaud, while waiting for the toy store to open. They have everything to suit a 5 year-olds desires - tall jars of Guimauve!

And many, many jars of home made confiture!

And the salesperson was doing the job I dream of doing someday (when I grow up) writing out the day's menu on the ardoise.

Plus she gets to play with all these ribbons! ...tea prints on the walls... Even more French rubans = paradise!
Oh and don't forget those cookies in the front window..I mean bisquits!
BONNE WEEK-END!
