173, Boulevard St.Germain, Paris

 

Yes, this is the address of the new flagship store of Ralp Lauren in Paris!

What a gorgeous building, isn’t it!

The building has been restored over the past four years and includes six floors of retail space, including a restaurant in the old stable’s called RALPH’S which will strive to serve the best burgers and fries in the city!!!

Sharing pictures of that restaurant is what I wanted to do today! I love the exterior of the building as well as the interior of the restaurant!

Let’s have a look…

What do you think? Can you imagine sitting here to have dinner?

I love the way of mixing the seats, upholstered in the typical RL fabric, with the wrought iron French chairs.

And on below some pictures of the interior of the restaurant in the RL spirit of course.

Well my friends, when we ever join in Paris, we could meet at RALPH’S, boulevard St. Germain,

Impressions of Maison & Objet and blogger "meet and greet"

Although I am back home from Saturday night, I really did not found the time to post about our trip to Paris for the Maison & Objet exhibition.
It was a very nice but exhausted visit.
I have taken a lot of pictures but I will show you here some impressions of Maison & Objet and a few of my favorite pictures.
There were so many items to discover as table wear and table linen, bedlinen, fabrics,...but I have to say that I was in particular interested in furniture and lighting companies.
I hope you will enjoy this little tour!

At the entrance, beautiful coloured presentations of Maison Hermès!

You know that I wrote about the blogger "Paris meet and greet" in my previous post!
Well, a few of us met in the Hotel Duo Bar in Paris!
This was the place to be....




....and here we are!!!

My husband Jan in a good conversation with Peter!

It was so nice meeting Maryanne, Peter, Amanda, Tracey and Haley. We talked a lot and learned to know eachother better!
I am so thankful that they all did an effort to meet us there!!
So a few cocktails and glasses of Champagne later, we kissed good bye and went to our hotel room because we were all tired of walking around at Maison & Objet during the day.


Hotel Le Tourville
This is the hotel where we (Jan and me) stayed.
We haven't seen a lot of Paris itself of course, but driving from the Maison & Objet exhibition to the hotel, who was situated in the heart of Paris, we had a beautiful sightseeing of Paris.
.
I hope that I inspired you to visit Maison & Objet in September!
