Tutu Tuesday in Montgeron, Ile-de-France, France #tututuesday
G'day, lovelies! It's your girl, Amelia, back with another installment of Tutu Tuesday, this time from the charming town of Montgeron, nestled in the Ile-de-France region of France. Now, I know what you're thinking – France and ballet? It's like a match made in heaven, right? And trust me, this week has been a whirlwind of tutus, training, and of course, the delectable pastries that make France famous (don't tell my PT!).
This week, I've been immersing myself in the world of French ballet. The local ballet school here is simply incredible. From the moment I walked in, I felt that pure, classic ballet magic. The instructors are absolute legends – strict, yes, but with a passion for the art form that just oozes through. They've got me working those pirouettes and leaps like never before, pushing me to truly unlock my inner ballerina.
And speaking of unlocking, I had to delve into the world of French tutu styles. Forget your standard "pastels and fluff" that we often see in Aus, folks! French tutus are a whole other vibe. Imagine delicate, hand-stitched tulle with intricate lace details, cascading gracefully down the body – truly a work of art. One day, I even spotted a group of ballerinas practicing in these stunning emerald green tutus – they looked like mythical forest creatures, ready to leap into a ballet from the French countryside! Absolutely dreamy.
One of the highlights of the week has definitely been attending a performance at the Montgeron Opera House. I was floored, blown away, utterly speechless! The artistry, the skill, the sheer emotion poured out onto the stage was incredible. It was a testament to the dedication and passion these French dancers possess – they really make ballet come alive!
But it's not just the ballet that has me in love with Montgeron. The town itself is utterly charming. Imagine quaint cobblestone streets, cute cafes overflowing with locals indulging in pain au chocolat and cappuccinos, and little boutiques bursting with chic fashion (yes, I had to snag a couple of Parisian-inspired pieces!).
It's amazing how even in a little town like this, there's a buzz, an energy that reminds you that art and culture truly shine in France. They've got this je ne sais quoi that makes you want to embrace life's little pleasures – like a beautifully crafted tutu, a good croissant, and, of course, the passion of ballet.
So, my lovelies, whether you're a seasoned dancer or just a fan of ballet and all things beautiful, take my word for it: Montgeron is definitely worth a visit!
But remember, wherever you are in the world, never forget to unleash your inner ballerina – grab your tutu, twirl it around, and get those moves going! It's #tututuesday after all!
Now, gotta go – a Parisian brunch date is calling my name! Au revoir, darlings!
