If you happen to be in Paris over the next few months, it would behoove you to spent some quality time at 5 avenue Marceau, home to the Fondation Pierre Bergé—Yves Saint Laurent.
The foundation's latest exhibition is a evocative multi-room tribute to Belle Époque painter Jacques-Émile Blanche, who served as one of the inspirations for the artist Elstir in Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu.

ReplyDeleteMerci' beaucoup!
ReplyDeleteAs a Proust obsessed person I really wish I could be there, and Grange design? Heaven!
ReplyDeleteWould love to bathe just once at Hicks'! But with the coming Hurricane, I will count myself fortunate if I get to bathe ANYWHERE once the power goes out, as they say it surely will!
