Paris and the petit garcon

The start of the day

Yesterday, the MDS's decamped en famille to Paris for the day. It was a glorious day in respect of weather, food, drink, browsing and style watching. I have to concede Paris does it better. We can debate London cool for ever and a day but somehow the femme of Paris whatever their age just have the edge. It is even down to the discreet one shopping bag whether Dior or Zara, you just know they bought perfection!

I'm not sure who was the star of the day Paris or the petit gacon. It was his first visit to the capital although his third visit to France. He loved it!

  6. Sooo cute! I really envy people who go to Paris for the day. You are incredibly fortunate!!! (As are people who live in Paris cuz they're close enough to visit London.)

    P.S. I agree entirely - while London has much to be proud of in terms of creativity and style, Paris still has that "je ne sais quoi" that puts it in a league of its own.
