IT IS STILL WINTER

It snows, here in Paris. It began in the early morning hours, I guess. People take it slow, many stayed at home. The streets are calm. I had this dream tonight: Little smooth furry animals, snuggled up to keep each other warm. It’s still Winter…

Details about the exhibition on

Weird, those classifiactions on NNDB, don’t you think?

Well, let’s continue our window-shopping!

We still walk on Boulevard Haussmann, and Rue Tronchet towards the “Madeleine”. Shalimar, I always loved this name and the scent, and I like this poetic decoration.

This is one of the famous “Paul” bakeries, once a shop specialized in ivory and scute, (I just learned this word “scute”, I hope it’s correct)  called “THE TURTLES”

This is opposite of the church Madeleine, it’s ERES, very (very) expensive swimming suits and sun dresses

 ”Petit Bateau”, very famous brand for kid’s underwear, expensive and “bon chic bon genre”, meaning a bit bourgeois :)

I liked this decoration in the shoe-shop Rue Tronchet, those shoes are not “bon marché” = cheap

I have still more photos for you in my bag for the next post! Take care and have a wonderful day !
