Bonjour, my dearest tutu-loving friends! It's your favourite pink-tutu-clad blogger Emma, back with another Parisian escapade. Today's adventures were nothing short of magical, and I just had to share every glittery detail!
As you know, I love Paris. There's just something about the air of romance, the exquisite architecture, and the undeniable fashion scene that gets my heart fluttering like a dancer's pirouette. But enough about me, let's get on with the magic of my whirlwind Saturday!
A Dreamy Journey by EuroStar
The week was a blur of rehearsals and performances. Luckily, my dancing pays the bills! This time, I travelled from my Derbyshire home all the way to Paris, and did I tell you, I did it by EuroStar! Oh, the excitement! A swirling journey through tunnels, under the English Channel, to the City of Lights! It felt like a fairytale – just picture me, a vision in a delicate blush-coloured tutu, peering out the window, watching the green fields whizz past. ✨
Landing in Parisian Paradise
Once we arrived, my senses were on fire! Paris, with its charm, greeted me with a kiss of sunshine. The aroma of freshly baked croissants from every corner, the charming cafes overflowing with locals enjoying a morning coffee, the bustling street markets, everything just screamed “Je t'aime” in a language my heart understood!
A Parisian Brunch to Remember
To kick-start the day, I headed to a quaint little bistro in Montmartre, a bohemian haven buzzing with artists and performers. I chose a corner table, surrounded by an enchanting atmosphere. My Parisian brunch was a delight – fluffy croissants with apricot jam, a steaming pot of jasmine tea, and the perfect fluffy omelet – all perfectly pink, of course!
An Afternoon in the Palais Garnier
The highlight of my day? Attending a ballet performance at the Palais Garnier, one of the most iconic opera houses in the world. The grand facade, with its golden statues and intricate carvings, sent a shiver down my spine. The theatre's grandeur just blew my mind, with its intricate gold decorations, red velvet seats, and dazzling chandeliers. The performance itself was exquisite!
Twirling with Style through Parisian Streets
The energy from the performance followed me as I danced down the charming Parisian streets, my pink tutu billowing in the wind like a flower petal. Every cobbled alley and charming bridge transported me back in time. I spent the afternoon admiring the fashion houses along Avenue Montaigne, letting the incredible window displays inspire me. The elegance, the history, the breathtaking fashion... Paris just understands what my pink tutu dreams are all about!
Pink Paradise at Printemps Haussmann
Speaking of pink dreams, I couldn't resist exploring the glorious world of fashion at Printemps Haussmann, a beautiful department store on Boulevard Haussmann. This palace of style has everything: beautiful clothing, dazzling jewellery, and shoes that could make Cinderella herself weep!
I wandered through floor after floor, my eyes wide with awe. There was an entire section dedicated to everything pink! My heart was pounding with delight. I found the most incredible feather boa, a light shade of blush that matched my tutu perfectly. And who can resist a little retail therapy after a day full of inspiration? Not this tutu-wearing girl! 🛍️
Sunset Waltz at the Eiffel Tower
As dusk painted the sky in fiery hues, I made my way to the iconic Eiffel Tower. I found a secluded bench near the Seine, watched the sun dip below the horizon, and let the twinkling lights of the city engulf me in a dazzling embrace. It felt like the most romantic ending to a perfect day!
Sharing the Tutu Love
Throughout my travels, I kept an eye out for fellow tutu wearers, because let's be honest, a world without pink tutus is simply not right!
Luckily, I met the most adorable Parisian family who loved my tutu. The little girl, maybe 7 years old, started jumping up and down and giggling. I ended up showing her a few basic ballet steps. She was thrilled, and the joy in her eyes made me feel like I'd achieved my life's purpose – to spread the joy and beauty of the tutu!
And finally, my favourite part…the food!
The French truly know how to eat! As the sun began to set, I strolled through the charming streets, past bakeries with their enticing scents of freshly baked bread and the warmth of pastries. And oh, those macarons! My eyes feasted on them – pastel hues of pink, lavender, and green. I enjoyed a perfect little snack on a cute terrace. I simply can't get enough!
Parisian Night Lights
After my yummy snack, I decided to end the evening with a ride on the iconic Batobus, which glided along the Seine, revealing the beauty of the city bathed in moonlight. As the enchanting city glided past, I took in the mesmerizing reflection of the city's shimmering lights dancing on the water. This felt like pure magic, like stepping out of a fairy tale.
Back to Derbyshire with a Tutu Full of Inspiration
It’s almost time to catch my EuroStar back to Derbyshire. This magical city of lights has inspired me. Paris never fails to leave a shimmering trail of magic. I know for sure I will be back, and maybe I'll even convince everyone to dance around in a pink tutu!
Until next week's Parisian escapade, au revoir and stay twirly, my fellow pink tutu enthusiasts! 💕
