G'day lovelies! This week's #tututuesday takes me to the charming town of Fontaine-lès-Dijon, a delightful spot nestled in the Bourgogne-Franche-ComtĂŠ region of France. This little corner of the world is oozing with charm and culture â and, as you know, that means *ballet*! I'm not even going to lie, stepping onto the stage in this French city, feeling the weight of the history of ballet hanging in the air, sent shivers down my spine. You know, there's just something special about French ballet â they've got a real elegance to them, a kind of effortless beauty. You can just see it in the movements, in the gracefulness of each turn. Speaking of turns, I couldn't resist whipping out my new tutu â a frothy confection of layers upon layers of tulle, perfect for the delicate beauty of this historic place. It was a classic romantic tutu, think a swirling cloud of fabric that's begging to be pirouetted in. Let's talk style, lovelies! For a casual, chic look with a hint of elegance, I layered a silk cami, a fitted black cardigan, and, of course, my trusty black pumps. It was the perfect outfit to soak up the French vibes, without going overboard. Plus, the black on black, well, that's a classic combo. It just *works*. Hereâs whatâs making Tutu Tuesday in Fontaine-lès-Dijon truly unforgettable:
- The French Connection: The ballet scene here is buzzing with talented dancers and a vibrant history. From classical ballets like Swan Lake and Giselle to more modern interpretations, the city celebrates the magic of dance in a truly special way.
- French Elegance and Simplicity: Fontaine-lès-Dijon is the ultimate inspiration for the "less is more" fashion motto. The beauty is in the simple things, the muted colour palette, and the effortless grace of it all. My tutus and this entire outfit really reflected that sentiment, a statement piece for sure, but nothing too dramatic or flashy, just understated elegance and a timeless classic look.
- French Cuisine: I'm not going to lie, lovelies, my belly has been in pure heaven exploring the local culinary delights! Imagine a cafeĚ by day and then a traditional bouchon (French gastropub) by night - itâs like your taste buds are on holiday. The bread? Seriously delicious, oh and donât forget the wine!
- French Wine: Okay, so we are in the Burgundy wine region of France, so naturally, wine was on my agenda. Oh my goodness, lovelies, the wine was like liquid gold. It's that silky, smooth kind of red that just begs you to take another sip.
- French Art: Art museums? Fontaine-lès-Dijon has those too! You'll be swept away by centuries of artistic creativity and a museum-filled journey through time and art.
- French Gardens: This charming town is absolutely full of beautifully kept gardens and parks. They're a visual feast, with every kind of blossom imaginable and even fountains that just add to the romantic charm.
- French Ballet Culture: Itâs not just the local productions here that really set the stage, itâs the French attitude. It's this air of artistry and a true appreciation for ballet that is simply contagious.
