Tutu Tuesday 18457

Tutu Tuesday in Maromme, Normandy, France #tututuesday Bonjour mes amis! This Aussie ballerina is bringing a touch of Parisian chic to your #tututuesday, straight from the cobbled streets of Maromme, Normandy. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Maromme? Isn't that, like, a quiet little town in France?" And you'd be right. But what it lacks in glitz and glam, it makes up for in charm and historical beauty. Seriously, imagine strolling down a quaint, tree-lined avenue with the Seine sparkling nearby. Dreamy! But let's get back to the reason I'm here - ballet! You see, France has a rich ballet heritage. Ballet schools, studios, and performances are scattered across the country, and even in this small town, the love for dance is palpable. In Maromme, the local ballet school, “École de Danse Maromme," offers classes for everyone, from aspiring professionals to weekend warriors like myself. I had the chance to drop in and get my dance fix, and boy, did it feel good. Speaking of dance fixes, the "Tutu Tuesday" vibe is alive and kicking here. Think, *whimsical*, *delicate*, *romantic*, with a French twist, of course. I mean, imagine a vintage tutu in soft pastels, or a simple, classic, ballerina-length tutu in black. For a modern spin, you can experiment with tulle that's *slightly* asymmetrical. *Yes, you can get away with that in France!* Or maybe even pair your tutu with a leather jacket and a touch of red lipstick for that Parisian edge. And it's not just about the tutus! It's about finding those special places where art and beauty converge, like strolling through a hidden antique shop overflowing with dance costumes, vintage photographs of famous ballerinas, and a dusty old ballet shoe, oh, just you wait... you won’t want to leave this charming spot. You could even find yourself getting lost in the quaint bookshops on the quiet side streets of Maromme - searching for those "forgotten" ballet classics, books about the history of French ballet, or a dancer’s memoir, maybe even a tattered copy of the original version of “La Sylphide” for those hardcore dance enthusiasts! (Remember, Maromme’s just a quick train ride from Rouen, one of France’s biggest towns with an actual grand Opera House – the *Opéra de Rouen*, so, the history is seriously strong here!) And now, because I’ve got your mind buzzing with Parisian chic, here’s a little more on Maromme... In the 19th century, it was all about lace making, like seriously, the French lace was world famous and Maromme was the heart of it! Now it’s not all about the lace, but it’s certainly not lost - you’ll find shops dedicated to the beauty of handmade French lace - lace ribbons, trims, and even entire dresses, all ready for you to style your Tutu Tuesday look. You can even enjoy a *delicious* picnic with your new *Parisian style* outfit... grab some *freshly baked* bread from a charming local bakery, buy some local cheeses - the creamy camembert is famous in this part of the world, pair it with a fine wine and some local honey for a *super* *fancy* #tututuesday picnic experience! And of course, let's not forget the art of the French promenade! This is a way of life in Maromme – so be sure to saunter through the cobblestone streets, admire the architectural details, like the elegant stained glass windows of the old church or the stone facades of the historic houses... don't forget your *tutu* – it'll complete the *whole Parisian thing*! Maromme, Normandy, France - I wouldn't say it's the *world’s capital of Tutu Tuesdays*, but I'm pretty sure it could be! There’s *serious* creative inspiration everywhere you go. If you’re looking for *that* special something to *spark your creativity* – I *highly recommend* adding it to your itinerary – it *could be just what you need!* Don't forget, Tutu Tuesdays are all about expressing yourself, whether you're a ballerina by trade or just someone who loves twirling in tulle! So let loose, have fun, and be ready for some serious #tututuesday envy! And most of all, remember that life is *way* *too* short to ever stop wearing a tutu! *Until next time*, my friends!
