Exhibits Extraordinaire in Paris
Bonjour mes amis,
Over the many years in Paris, we have been so fortunate to see some amazing exhibits. I’d like to share some of them over the next few posts with you again. The best part is how moderately priced they are, usually under 25 euros per person. The arts are supported in large part by the French government which makes accessibility for everyone possible.
My all-time favorite was the Christian Dior and I hope you enjoy it!! This exhibit was certainly about designer clothing but so much more…the venues, the set design, the lighting, the music, the majesty. The French just know how to turn everything into magic.
Believe it or not, this is about a third of my pictures but enough to give you a good sampling. Before we went it, a little girl in the long line outside set the stage for me with her red umbrella. You are not supposed to take pictures of children but I did sneak this one.
More to come over the next few weeks as summer is beginning to wind down.
Much love,
L & B

You won’t be surprised that this was my favorite exhibit, as well– all seen through your eyes and cameras. I couldn’t begin to choose a favorite ensemble, but that silver jumpsuit ranks right up there! Thanks for showing these photos again.

Linda,
It is a exhibit that stayed with me a long time too. Extraordinaire! Thanks for the look back.
Will you go to the Dior Museum on your up-coming visit?

Most Excellent! Some folks seem to know how to do things up right. Of course, the little girl in pink and red is the best.

How very lovely to share this with us, Linda. Thank you! I would have loved to see this in person, but your photos are exquisite! Merci beaucoup!

I was thinking about the Dior exhibit and how out of the box it is. That’s a good place to spend time from time to time. Then who’s idea was it end the post with the totally in-the-box picture of the little girl. Good presentation, I know you’re not smart enough to think to do that, whose idea was that? Lastly, I hope you watched one of the Olympic marathons. If so, as they ran through the city, did it seem familiar or at home for you. Pat

Pat, we did not see the marathon you reference. As to the little girl, she just caught my eye so it WAS my idea. Sorry you aren’t making our high school reunion this weekend.
