Juillet on Instagram – Ritournelle

https://ritournelleblog.com/2015/08/02/paris-juillet-on-instagram

Anne's views on Paris and art. The highlight of my month of July was definitely the Bastille Day fireworks. I had the chance to view them from the Trocadero with a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. (It was a prize I won from a contest organized by the City of Paris on their Instagram. It was a magical and emotional night; needless to say I felt very lucky to be there! You can view the video of the 40-minute show on Youtube. Free entrance every 1. The other one was the Saint-Jacques Tower. J’ai eu la chan...

Buttons through the ages at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs – Ritournelle

https://ritournelleblog.com/2015/06/22/buttons-through-the-ages-at-the-musee-des-arts-decoratifs

Anne's views on Paris and art. Buttons through the ages at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. The button tray from Yves Saint Laurent’s couture atelier. So you thought buttons were just a detail? The lovely exhibition Unbutton Fashion at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Will prove you wrong. Buttons held a central place in fashion history, revealed social positions (often higher class) and mirrored major social events. Some of them are like small jewels, not to mention miniature art pieces. Century, they would...

Anne's views on Paris and art. Afternoon Tea at the George V in Paris. August 10, 2015. Reading time 5 minutes. A few summers ago, I ventured inside the George V. In Paris out of curiosity. I marveled at Jeff Leatham’s sophisticated floral compositions in the lobby and courtyard, and the atmosphere in La Galerie embodied refined elegance to the point that a feeling of timelessness and calm remained in my memory. My friend Solli. Cela faisait longtemps que je rêvais de l’Afternoon Tea du George V. The lov...

SFMOMA’s American Icons at the Grand Palais – Ritournelle

https://ritournelleblog.com/2015/05/10/sfmoma-american-icons-at-the-grand-palais

Anne's views on Paris and art. SFMOMA’s American Icons at the Grand Palais. Ce weekend j’ai visité l’exposition Icônes Américaines. Au Grand Palais. J’y allais plus par simple curiosité. Et pour amortir ma Carte Sésame. Pfff, moi aussi je serais capable de faire ça. ). Et pourtant, en faisant le tour une seconde fois pour les photos et en lisant le guide bien pédagogique, je me surprends à davantage apprécier les œuvres. Le moderne, un art dont l’appréciation se mérite? Quand on sait dans quelles conditi...

Anne's views on Paris and art. March 1, 2016. Reading time 4 minutes. I can not believe that yet another month has passed. And maybe I should say another season has passed too: the flowers in the Champ de Mars are blooming at the feet of the Eiffel Tower, much to the delight of Parisians and tourists. The temperatures have also been mild enough at times to enjoy gardens like Place des Vosges in Le Marais. Which I live-tweeted on @ritournelle. And of course you can still visit the Doge’s Palace. J’ai du m...
