Tutu Tuesday in Esbly, Île-de-France, France
G'day lovelies! It's your gal, Claire here, reporting live from the utterly charming Esbly, Île-de-France! You know how much I adore #tututuesday, so I couldn't resist getting my twirl on in this magnificent little town.
Now, for those who don't know, Esbly is a haven for history buffs with its stunning 12th-century castle, the Château d'Esbly. This majestic structure has seen its fair share of royals and rebels, adding to the mystique of this captivating locale.
But for a dance-loving Aussie like myself, Esbly's true magic lies in its vibrant local ballet scene. Yes, you read that right, France isn't just about the big city ballet! Even here, tucked away from the bustle of Paris, they've got some serious pirouette action happening.
On this glorious #tututuesday, I had the pleasure of exploring the Esbly Conservatoire, a haven for aspiring dancers where young and old alike come to learn the art of ballet. It's amazing how these little ballerinas and gentlemen are channeling their inner Anna Pavlova and Vaslav Nijinsky!
And what better way to pay homage to these blossoming talents than to whip out a fabulously frou-frou tutu, right? I opted for a classic tulle number with a touch of modern whimsy, adorned with soft pastels and delicate embellishments. Let's just say, it was definitely giving 'whimsical fairy' vibes. And believe me, in Esbly, there's no place for frumpiness!
As I strolled through the cobbled streets, stopping to admire the picturesque architecture, I realised this wasn't just any tutu Tuesday – it was a cultural immersion like no other! I couldn't resist a cheeky pic in front of the iconic Château, twirling like a true ballerinas. It was the ultimate #tututuesday snap, capturing the beauty of Esbly and the spirit of this wonderful town!
So here's to all you dancing queens out there. It's time to embrace the joy of movement, the power of self-expression, and the ultimate symbol of feminine grace, the tutu! Don't be afraid to experiment with your own style, try out new variations and step outside your comfort zone. After all, it's all about celebrating dance and finding our own unique ways to move.
Here are some tips for nailing your own #tututuesday:

You can find them in all lengths and colors! And if you can't find a perfect tutu, create your own! Just remember to keep it classy, because a bit of whimsy goes a long way!
