Paris ~ A Day of Shopping & Strolling in the City

January 21, 2024

Having just arrived in Paris to attend Salon International de la Lingerie, I had a free day to explore before the show. Tina Wilson, (who regularly features articles & superb illustrations on LBriefs) joined me for a fabulous day of shopping and strolling around the city.

Everything this January seems to be ‘On Sale’ and brightly colored apparel was the trend everywhere. We spent much of our time at the iconic Le Bon Marché department store, where we were wow’d by Daniel Buren’s contemporary art installations… very bold, colorful and exciting, as were the fashions we encountered, particularly the swimwear.
