Grey Pareee

As the rain beats down and the noses run and the gas meter spins, May is drawing to a close. Cannes was a washout but some good films are coming out of it - very excited about this documentary of Paris: they got the colours right!

Jolly grey.  

Seems the rain and the credit crunch have not affected LV's fans on the Champs Elysées. Incroyable:

No comment.

This little bouquin caught my eye, amongst all the rhapsodic love letters to the city, here is a book of anecdotes about not being so keen on Paris. One to read tucked up in bed with a hot water bottle in June perhaps.

I've been there.

Merci Paris, on boulevard Beaumarchais in the 11e. Haven in the storm and aspirational treasure trove of unattanaible goodies. Also a used book café with a great selection of books in French and some English and other foreign language. Cosy!
