Bonjour, darlings! It’s Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, back from a magical trip to the City of Lights! The EuroStar took me through the English countryside, then whizzed me past the gleaming fields of France – it’s always an adventure in itself.
Paris! Ooh la la! It’s just brimming with chic style and charming cobbled streets. From the moment I arrived at Gare du Nord, I knew this would be a truly special journey. Everything just feels so glamorous here, even the pigeons have a certain air about them!
Pink-tastic Style
Let's talk about fashion, my dears! This city is a fashionista’s dream! The streets are a catwalk, with stylish Parisians flitting by, their looks both sophisticated and effortless. My first day, I sashayed through the Marais district in my darling little pink tutu, feeling oh so Parisian myself. And I definitely had to visit a few vintage boutiques – a good vintage tutu is just priceless, you know. I found some beauties – a delicate lilac one that could have been from a ballet at the Paris Opera, and a sparkling red tutu that had to come home with me, it screamed "I am Paris!"
The Magic of the Moulin Rouge
This weekend, my darling pink tutu took centre stage at the iconic Moulin Rouge. Yes, the iconic cabaret! The vibrant colours and the stunning costumes were so breathtaking. Imagine, feathers and rhinestones, swirling to the beat of the orchestra – just like in the dreams of every little ballerina! The dancers were just magical; such graceful leaps, twirls and stunning kicks, truly inspiring. I danced all night – I just couldn't help it! There's no place quite like the Moulin Rouge; it’s a whirlwind of glamour, passion, and Parisian charm.
Ballet by the Seine
Another magical moment was discovering the “Ballet by the Seine”. Imagine, sipping a chilled glass of wine by the riverbank, as beautiful dancers glide through their moves against the stunning backdrop of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower! The perfect blend of artistic beauty and relaxed elegance. I even managed to fit in a spot of ballet class by the Seine itself! The air was so fresh, it felt as if my pink tutu was floating!
A Delightful Degustation
And of course, no trip to Paris would be complete without indulging in its exquisite cuisine! My pink tutu and I enjoyed a truly scrumptious Parisian picnic under the Eiffel Tower. Oh, the baguette, the cheese, and the chocolate croissants – divine! The perfect symphony of flavours for a blissful picnic. We also spent a delightful evening at a small family-run café. I think my little tutu and I were definitely the talk of the town in our lovely, twirly outfits, but the warmth of the cafe made me feel like a little Parisian princess!
A Pink Tutu For Every Parisian!
The spirit of this beautiful city is simply contagious! Everyone here has an inner ballerina waiting to be unleashed! I hope that soon everyone, all across the world, will embrace the wonder of pink tutus! They can be a powerful symbol of joy, freedom, and just a little bit of magic. Who wouldn’t feel a little bit more delightful and free twirling through the streets in their own little pink tutu?! You’ve gotta embrace the whimsical side of life – just like in my favourite books about ballerina princesses!

Yours ever so pinkly,
Emma
