Parisien du jour: Monsieur M.

This guy was amazing! He and his wife led our tour of Versailles. I hope I have as much energy as they do when I'm their age - all of us young things were struggling to keep up!

M. M. also reminds me so much of another M. M. - Monsieur Monet in his garden, complete with beard, hat, and dignified pose.

Green Space Special Edition! Versailles

Vendredi, je t'aime

Nothing new...just glad it's Friday. Hope yours is a good one.

I hope this works!

I recorded a few seconds of sound while walking around outside Sacre Coeur this weekend that you will hopefully be able to play below. I've never tried this before so no promises!

Window Shopping: Repetto, rue de la Paix

Being at this store made me wish I wasn't so absolutely horrible at ballet. Those classes were such a bad idea, and there are pictures of eight-year-old me in a blue sequined tutu to prove it.

Luckily Repetto has shoes for ballet-challenged people as well as prima ballerinas. Exhibit A:

They aren't just for New England girls...

Parisian girls have them too. The ubiquitous Longchamp tote. Seriously, they're everywhere.
