Bonjour mes amies!
It's Emma here, your resident pink-tutu-wearing, ballet-loving blogger, ready to whisk you away to the City of Lights – Paris! It's Saturday, the 31st of May, and you know what that means: time for another exciting Paris blog post!
This week, I embarked on a whirlwind trip, arriving in Paris on the Eurostar bright and early. There's something truly magical about gliding through the English Channel on that sleek train. My pink tutu felt positively regal as I admired the rolling French countryside rushing past the window.
Now, Paris! You simply cannot come here without being utterly bowled over by the romance. From the moment I stepped off the train, I was entranced. Every cobbled street, every Parisian café, every blooming flowerbox – pure Parisian poetry.
I'm a firm believer in embracing the essence of a place. So, for this trip, I chose to explore the vibrant Montmartre district. Imagine it: charming winding streets, bustling artists hawking their wares, and the most incredible view of the city from Sacré-Coeur.
Bonjour, Ballet!
You know me – ballet is in my soul! Paris wouldn't be Paris without a dose of ballet magic. On Friday, I saw a beautiful production of "Giselle" at the Opéra Garnier. The costumes were dazzling – a glorious kaleidoscope of silks and sequins – and the dancers were simply divine. Their elegance and grace left me in awe. I found myself completely immersed in the story and couldn't help but dream of twirling across the stage myself!
Speaking of twirling, my favourite boutique – “Le Tutu Rose” – had a sale this week! I picked up a stunning new tutu in the most exquisite shade of pink. Can't wait to show it off! It's already inspiring new ballet moves. Just imagine me twirling on a Paris balcony under the Eiffel Tower!
Shopping Therapy!
Of course, no trip to Paris is complete without a bit of retail therapy. This weekend was all about finding those hidden gems in the heart of the city. Le Marais is my absolute go-to for independent boutiques and vintage finds. I even picked up a vintage brooch that reminds me of my trip to the Palace of Versailles a few weeks ago. Such elegance and grandeur. I felt like I'd stepped straight out of a historical romance novel.
Parisian Feasting
Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? I'm definitely not depriving myself in the food department. I indulged in croissants, pain au chocolat, and macarons – my weakness! Each bite was pure Parisian decadence. And who can resist a traditional Parisian café experience? Coffee, conversation, and watching the world go by. Ah, la vie en rose!
Taking the "T"
No blog post about Paris would be complete without mentioning the famous metro! I love the thrill of hopping on the "T" and whisking through the city. It's such an easy and efficient way to explore and allows you to truly absorb the energy of Paris. Don't be afraid to get lost a little - you might stumble upon hidden gems!
The Pink Tutu Paris Manifesto
I have a confession – every trip to Paris always fills me with a renewed energy. It’s the perfect city to chase your dreams, discover new talents, and express yourself fully. Paris whispers inspiration – and it whispers to me, "Spread the love, embrace the pink tutu, and inspire others to find their own inner ballerina!".
I am obsessed with seeing women, girls, and even men rocking pink tutus. So let's spread the love. Be bold, be bright, be you, and let the pink tutu carry you to a world of infinite possibilities! After all, we're all a little bit "ballet" inside.
Au Revoir!
That's it from me this week, my darlings. Keep those pink tutus twirling! And don’t forget to visit www.pink-tutu.com for more Parisian adventures and my latest tutu creations. See you next Saturday!
Bisous!
Emma.
