Ralphs....


Hello again...I am back from my trip to Paris and share with you the first lot of my Paris photo's.


Ralph Lauren opened his first European restaurant in Paris just 8 weeks before I arrived. The new store and restaurant is located on Boulevard St Germain.

Surrounded by gorgeous Ralph Lauren fabrics and furniture, the courtyard is a wonderful spot to enjoy lunch before spending the afternoon shopping the many wonderful boutiques. The beautiful potted flowers, plants and the sound of water coming from the fountain add to the Summer atmosphere.

Unfortunately I was not able to eat there. I tried to book into Ralph's for brunch in the beautiful courtyard and was told they are booked out for one month. So next trip I shall make sure I book well in advance!

Hi dear Amanda - lovely to have you back. No worries getting into Ralph's place for us, MOTH would have just made his usual scene & they would have shoved us at a table just to shush him up! He's my secret weapon, you can borrow him if you like (take your time returning him too!)
