I’ve lived in Montmartre for years, but this morning I joined for a walking tour, and loved the opportunity to see my neighbourhood through fresh eyes and to come away with new stories. What a great experience!

Last week I spent a day in Champagne with an excellent guide, Brice, and in really fun company. You can message me and I will connect you. I loved trying a few different Champagnes, seeing some of the many kilometres of chalk cellars at Mumm and the art gallery at Pommery as well as a very old wine press still being used. I’m not sure whether you can see in the photo of the vines here, but this is the famous village of Hautvillers where anywhere you can, you grow vines, and so many of the houses have grapes instead of flowers or lawns right up to them. I really loved learning more about the history of the region. The Cathedral at Reims is incredible (it’s a UNESCO heritage site) and quite moving. This is where - although well before the current Cathedral was built - Clovis was crowned the first King of France and following on, most of the French King’s were crowned here also. The Cathedral wears signs of war damage where it was bombed but is also uplifting for its stained glass windows some of which were gifted by German artist Knoebel. On the outside you’ll see many statues some of which lost heads and hands during the Revolution, but if you look carefully you’ll see ‘l’ange au sourire’ who has become well recognised as a symbol of Champagne. Since it takes me so long to post anything I also wanted to say you should go and get tickets to the Martin Parr exhibition at the Jeu de Paume in the Tuileries on until May 24th. As expected it was funny, touching, brutal and thought provoking (none of us are exempt!), as well as beautiful.

Is there actually a more beautiful venue for an art fair than the Grand Palais anywhere in the world? Such a lovely morning spent here looking at art from Paris based galleries and far beyond. More than 900 artists have work on display here and the last day is Sunday. Next year Art Paris will be back at the Grand Palais from April 01-04 so you can plan ahead to get your tickets! We had lunch across the road in the gardens of the Petit Palais pictured here

It’s true that it seems to be more difficult these days to be spontaneous in Paris if you want to see exhibitions last minute, with online tickets often being sold out in advance, but if you don’t mind waiting twenty minutes it’s still definitely possible to see a ‘sold out’ exhibition. This morning we saw the Cent ans d’Art Deco at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs which was worth the short wait to see all the beautiful objects from jewellery and pottery to furniture and the interiors of luxury sleeper trains. The panel here is an example of the beading embroidered onto panels for the interior of the new Orient Express. It took 300 hours to embroider the Japanese pearl motifs on the panels per cabin. After this we crossed the river and walked past the pretty cherry trees just fully opening now in time for some windy spring days!

Paris is really sparkling this morning in the winter sunlight. Not long at all until these trees turn green and the café tables are back out underneath them. In the meantime I still love this sculptural look with the buildings in full view
