Tutu Tuesday in Vannes, Bretagne, France: #tututuesday Bonjour mes amies! I'm Jess, your resident ballerina blogger, taking you on a whirlwind tour of Tutu Tuesday in the enchanting city of Vannes, Bretagne, France. Let's face it, the French have style. And while Parisians are notorious for their chic fashion, here in Vannes, we find the romance of ballet intertwined with the Brittany charm. Imagine cobbled streets, charming cafes, and a sprinkle of fairy dust (yes, tutus have that effect). I was feeling quite the twirl queen myself, having packed a beautiful tulle skirt that I knew would be a perfect ode to the classic French ballerinas. This one wasn't just any old tulle, though! This was a structured skirt, more like a voluminous bell-shaped tutu, perfect for waltzing through the streets of Vannes and enjoying the breezy ocean air. The soft colour, almost the hue of a ripe apricot, added a touch of sunshine to the cool French vibe. **Ballet in France: More Than Just Paris** You might be thinking, ballet? In Vannes? Isn't that just a Parisian thing? And you'd be surprised! Brittany has a long-standing tradition of ballet, just as rich as anywhere else in France. They call it "ballet breton", and while the style leans into its own distinctive rhythms and narratives, the costumes have just as much drama and flow. It's like seeing a piece of Parisian ballet filtered through the lens of Celtic tradition - captivating. I got to witness this firsthand in a little studio right in the heart of Vannes. The students were so focused and elegant, and I felt a surge of excitement at the energy radiating from these dancers - you could feel the generations of artistry pulsing within the space. **#Tututuesday on the Streets of Vannes** Now, imagine walking into a quaint patisserie, all sugared almond treats and perfectly frothed latte art. But imagine this, but with me - a sprinkle of Tutu-ness! Yes, my apricot-tulle masterpiece made an appearance. I think my little twirl when I ordered my croissant made their day - who wouldn't love a bit of whimsy on a Tuesday morning? This wasn't just about the 'gram, although my social media followers definitely appreciated the Parisian ballet vibes. Vannes was a city begging for #tututuesday! The architecture, the light, the way people embrace their individual style โ€“ everything flowed. It was like my tutu was made for this scene. Some Tips for Your Own Tutu Tuesday: * ** Embrace the Inner Twirl Queen:** Don't let the "should I" question cloud your judgment.
