Paris Rouge - Prada Takes Printemps

This year's windows at Printemps were bought and paid for by Prada.  

Paris Day 7 - Printemps

Galeries Lafayette........magnifique!

I adore the way Galeries Layfayette drapes herself in these fabulous lights every Christmas. For me it's the Paris show stopper of the season!

Channeling Chanel

My dear and faithful blog friend Véronique, French Girl in Seattle, is my inspiration today.  My French Life featured some of my Christmas windows this week,  and she commented that tlast year there were some delightful windows at Printemps with little Coco Chanel dolls.  As luck would have it.........voilá!!!  I'd been saving this adorable window for just the right time. Ma chère Véronique... pour toi!

Le pot d'or grands!

Oh I made fun of the big gold pot  when it was proudly displayed on the plaza outside of the Centre Pompidou a while back.  Then it was taken away but alors, it has found a new home up on the roof joined by a smart little red flocked tree.  Say what you will, I still think some artist is laughing all the way to la banque over that one.

Le Tour de Macarons - Printemps

Macarons verts. Pistache peut-être?  Pour toi Peter! 

As magical as most of the windows are, designed to bring a smile to the faces of les petits enfants, some of Printemps windows made our jaws drop!  This tower of macarons is just one fine example. I have more.

For my macaron aficionados, here's a link to Paris Pâtisseries' blog that you will enjoy!

Printemps - Les Belles Vitrines

Printemps window displays thrilled the adults as much as the delighted children who lined up on the raised platforms so that they could get the best view.  More tomorrow!

Merci My French Life. org for featuring some of my Christmas in Paris photographs on your site right here!

Sapins de Noël à Nemours

Well would you look....here we are at the Palais Royal again!!  Last year these wonderful evergreens were lined up along the arcade at the Palais Royal and at the Café le Nemours on Place Colette.  I don't know about you, but after all the glitz and glitter everywhere else in Paris ( and the U.S.), I found these simple green trees a nice respite. A bit too chilly to sit outside, but I plan to have a sip here in janvier.
