The Haussmann architecture and mansard roofs…feels great to be back in Paris. Though certainly moving from the summer heat of Rome to the fall temperatures of Ile-de-France.


Still plenty of work happening post fire at Notre Dame.





Starting the day with rain and cold…but I had tickets to the Galerie Dior. Christian Dior is iconic in the world of fashion and one of the best known French luxury brands. It will come as a surprise to no one that I am not a fashionista, but I was really impressed by the museum. Very much turning clothing into an art gallery.
Starting with one of the most amazing staircases I have seen.



































It also turns out that while I was exploring the Galerie the wind came through and blew away the clouds and rain.

Equally great displays in the Louis Vuitton windows down the street.

Next up was the Petit Palais – an old palace turned art gallery. As I understand it, since it is owned by the city it’s free.
