Bonjour, mes amies!
It's Saturday, the 16th of August 2003, and I'm practically pirouetting with joy - I've finally made it to Paris! You all know how much I adore this beautiful city. There's something magical about the way Parisian architecture twirls with the romance of the Seine, like a waltz between history and art.
A Dreamy Journey on the Eurostar
This week's journey started with a chic train ride on the Eurostar. Imagine, my fellow tutu lovers, travelling in a silver bullet through the rolling countryside, my pink tutu twirling alongside the green fields and quaint villages. I even caught a glimpse of the iconic white cliffs of Dover - a breathtaking spectacle! The Eurostar is definitely a favourite for getting to Paris, you simply step off the train, skip onto the metro, and within minutes you're in the heart of the City of Lights.
The Parisian Waltz Begins
Paris, with its grand boulevards and charming alleyways, is calling! Today, I’m exploring the Marais, a neighbourhood steeped in history and buzzing with an artistic vibe. Just last night, I saw an exquisite ballet performance at the Théâtre du Châtelet, a historic beauty with ornate carvings and majestic ceilings. It was a pure masterpiece, full of grace and emotion. And let me tell you, I had a dazzling dream about being part of the performance, spinning and leaping in my pinkest tutu, of course!
A Ballerina’s Shopping Spree
Speaking of tutus, I couldn't resist popping into one of my favourite Parisian boutiques, "La Boutique Rose." Imagine, my loves, an entire store dedicated to all things pink, a ballerina's paradise! They had the most exquisite pink ballet shoes, sparkly tutus and flowing, feminine dresses - I bought enough fabric to create a miniature pink tulle cloud in my suitcase. You'll just have to wait for the next blog post to see my latest sartorial finds!
Discovering Parisian Delights
Tonight, I’m indulging in the Parisian magic – dinner at a traditional French bistro. I can already imagine the delightful aroma of freshly baked bread, rich sauces and delectable cheese. I'm saving room for dessert, naturally! A delightful patisserie, I'm sure, with all its creamy creations, is a perfect ending to my Parisian day.
Oh la la!
But, you know me, darling. My pink tutu will lead me on adventures all over Paris. Who knows what surprises await around every corner? Perhaps a captivating street performance by the Seine, a chance encounter with a charming Parisian artist, or the chance to twirl beneath the Eiffel Tower under a dazzling starlit sky.
Remember, my loves, you too can live your dreams! Let's embrace the magic of the world, twirl with joy, and, of course, spread the pink tutu revolution! Don't forget to visit my website www.pink-tutu.com every Saturday for my Parisian adventures, where every blog post will bring a dash of pink into your week!
Bisous!
Emma
