Travel: Paris for Easter

IMG_8491

So a week overdue, but here, finally, are my photos from my weekend in Paris for Easter! We had a lovely weekend from Friday to Monday, starting off with a trip to the much-recommended Dries Van Noten exhibition at Les Arts Decoratifs, which focused as much on the Belgian fashion designer’s clothes as on his wide range of inspirations, from David Bowie and Boy George to the military  and the English royal family. Next stop was Telescope cafe on Rue Villedo (shown below) for a welcome caffeine fix as well as a wander around Saint Paul Village– a lovely warren of antique and bric-a-brac shops. Saturday we went to the countryside and managed to sneak in two lunches in the sunshine, while on Monday we paid a visit to Le Corbusier’s Maison de Bresil (more on that later). The weekend ended perfectly with a trip to the Luxembourg gardens to watch people playing with the boats and admire the brightly coloured spring blooms.
