City-Pharma & Cafe Deux Magot

Some wise travelers know Paris is a Mecca for makeup and City-Pharma is their bargain land Holy Grail. At 26, rue du Four 75004

I met up with two clever ducks Cheryl & Debbie on Tuesday because they'd ordered the 6-pack of Paris Letters and wanted to pick them up while in Paris (instant gratification).

The Paris Walk

Drawing by Rick Tulka

I mentioned Rick Tulka's Walking Man previouslyI've been seeing "walking Parisiens".

Mother’s Day, Giverny, Impressionnistes

I’m going to the Orsay Impressionnistes exhibit today.

A visit to Giverny to amuse you till the Orsay report is ready

I went to buy stamps, En Jeu! Musée Marmottan Monet

 

Samedi/Saturday was gorgeous. Guess - tourists or Parisiennes?

No way could you stay inside.

La Naissance des Grands Magasins 1852-1925, Le musée des Arts décoratifs

 

Yesterday was the 1st day of the big department store show at MAD and I was there when the doors opened.

Are you a devoted department store browser (different from a shopper)

PAD Paris 2024 Tuileries

 

Yesterday I went to PAD Paris vernissage held in a long tent in Tuileries. The art show is on thru Sunday April 7. Run 🏃‍♀️ don’t walk. Fun!

Dogs are allowed I think…I saw 2 🐶 Breed vague.

Parisians & their chiens, The Real Emily in Paris

Today’s post was supposed to be on Art Paris vernissage at Grand Palais Ephemeral yesterday (on from April 4 - 7). The cutout Bichon Frisé is by Tursic & Mille. Woman with purse pets by Yunzo Paek.

But I couldn’t resist showing you Paris chiens/dogs from this week. Seen at the new Pompidou BRANCUSI Retrospective. Evidently Bichons Frisé are IN.

Easter Chocolate Browsing on rue du Bac, 75007

Desperately Seeking Paris Chocolate Bunnies

For most of March I’ve been haunting Paris chocolate shops. Nice work if you can get it 😀

Doing intense research 🔬 for the March Paris letter.
