Passage du Grand Cerf

Passage du Grand Cerf is one of may favorite passages. I especially like the florist, and I found a sweet little yarn shop there on my last visit.

Pour le bébé

Our first trip to Paris as we wandered behind the Musée d'Orsay, we stumbled upon, Bonpoint,  a gorgeous shop. I've never forgotten the beautiful baby clothes pressed between glass, hanging in the window. To me this said, "Paris."

Time...

to pop over to Cartier for a new watch?  Oh,  Place Vendôme gives "upscale shopping" a whole new meaning.

Printemps, un grand magazin

I think this sign is just spectacular. The hat, the dress .....c'est magnifique!

Department stores in Paris are a shopaholic's "fix". I'm not sure if I've ever really purchased anything at Printemps , but I am very content to just wander and look! Today, images of the elegant exterior. Founded in 1865 by Jules Juluzot and designed by Paul Sédille, it now consists of three building and boasts the largest beauty department in the world. Perhaps I should have stopped there for some much needed help and a spritz of my very favorite Chanel No.5 ! Visit their website for everything this wonderful old store has to offer.

Last summer, Peter and I went to the rooftop café and took photographs from there. I thought I had already posted those but apparently not. I will do that very soon!
