The eclipse watching crowd this evening at the Buttes-Chaumont park. It was fun to be a part of it. A bit like going to the outdoor cinema with everyone packed in and facing the same direction, and the universe definitely put on a show

I don’t usually make this type of post, but twice recently I’ve had such brilliant service in boutiques, that I wanted to share. The first store was Oriza L. Legrand where I stopped to get a small gift for a friend’s birthday, and left feeling as though it was mine. The woman who served me was so professional, polite and kind, and I loved learning more about the brand, smelling their wonderful historic fragrances, and leaving with such beautifully packaged gifts. Oriza has only one boutique in the world, here in Paris at 34 rue Vignon, 75009 where they take pleasure in sharing centuries of tradition and heritage. The second boutique is Maison Caffet a newly opened chocolate shop on the rue Cler market street. There are two other boutiques in Paris and they opened in 1954. The chocolates were delicious and the service was so great. They were very knowledgeable and kind, offering different options to try, and then packaging everything attractively and sending me off with a handy cooling bag to keep their chocolates in the best condition for my clients. I do almost always find that if you’re interested in what people are producing and selling here, then you’ll get a great response from them, but I can definitely say that the passion and professionalism of the staff was exceptional in both places!

When it’s hot and crowded in Paris and museum tickets often need to be bought in advance, I love to visit smaller exhibitions where there’s still space to stand in front of the works and contemplate. I really enjoyed the Hilma af Klint exhibition currently showing at the Grand Palais. She was a Swedish artist and aside from her wonderful use of colour and surrealism, she had such a command of symbolism and ideas across many philosophical, spiritual and scientific disciplines, and lived such a full life, that it was impossible not to be impressed.

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.
