Xmas Decorations at Place Vendome.

Dec 05, 2010,11:28 AM
 

We, Watchnuts, all know Place Vendome as the High End Luxury Parisian " Cradle ".

The Ritz, the Breguet, Blancpain, Patek Philippe, Rolex and JLC Boutique are here, reigning in a majestuous way on this Place, near the Ministry of Justice, very close to the Opera Garnier.

" Paris est une Fete " ( A moveable Feast ) as Hemingway wrote ( the book was published in 1964... Curious conicidence..smile, and nothing is more true in December, when Paris takes on its Christmas Lights.

Here are some pictures I took today, to share with you the magic of the moment:





A Modern Art Xmas Tree, looking like a giant snow flake tree:



In the cold weather, a warm presence... A lovely hungry troll:

It is time to think about all our close firends, family, and those who are not lucky, as we are, to live in a friendly ambiance, to have our dreams, and our very relative and delicious problems and dilemmas.

Best to All.

During Xmas, Paris is certainly one of the nicest city in the world. Enjoy! All the best

Even the "trolls" in Paris are more beautiful!

Well, I find it rather unfair of you to use the word "troll" to describe such a darling little princess. I'm sure it is said with fondness, at least. There is no bad time to visit Paris, but this is certainly the most dazzling season in which to see the C...

I'm reading your post about Place Vendome as I am munching on Laduree Macaroons. How fitting. Just one problem, I am reading and eating from California! Hoping to visit Paris again someday. Feed the young lady with the pink hat some macaroons.

Happy Holidays to you and your family amanico
