Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Avenue Montaigne
Avenue Montaigne is a street in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. Avenue Montaigne was originally called the allée des Veuves (widows' alley) because women in mourning gathered there, but the street has changed much since those days of the early 18th century. The current name comes from Michel de Montaigne, a writer of the French Renaissance. In the nineteenth century, the street earned some renown for its sparkling and colourful Mabille balls on Saturday nights.
Avenue Montaigne boasts numerous stores specialising in high fashion, such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel, Fendi, Valentino and Ralph Lauren, as well as jewellers like Bulgari and other upscale establishments such as the Plaza Athénée hotel.
By the 1980s, the avenue Montaigne was considered to be la grande dame of French streets for high fashion and accessories, and is now considered more important than rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. Several established clothing designers set up here, particularly the LVMH (Moët Hennessey Louis Vuitton) group. LVMH brought investment and international attention to the street, and its stable of top designers and firms, such as Céline, Louis Vuitton, Inès de la Fressange and formerly Christian Lacroix, own a substantial portfolio of the street's real estate.
In 2009, the Comité Montaigne presided over by Jean-Claude Cathalan has launched a website, with an interactive map. At 15, avenue Montaigne stands the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.

The Odeon Area and Streets of Paris
It's a short walk across the Place St. Michel and into the hubbub of the Latin Quarter. There are lively, small and typical streets radiating in all directions including St. Andre des Arts - a great little street. Sundays find families, friends and lovers out walking the streets, eating brunches and lunches in one of the hundreds of restaurants and window shopping.
Checked out one recommended restaurant that had a line extending down the sidewalk of people waiting for tables, looked at a few others (equally crowded) and just kept on going. Sniffing flowers and going into sticker shock at the prices of handbags. I need a lottery...
Paris during Christmas. Glamour, glitz, style and fashion in the City of Light.
I love Paris all year long, but during the holiday season, my obsession is truly on another level. Place Vendôme 1:43, rue de la Paix 2:33, rue de Castiglione, rue Saint-Honoré 1:54 and rue des Capucines on the Right Bank are outstanding places in the capital. The streets, façades and shops of the area around Place Vendôme are all lit up. Café and gallery hop as well as people watching in St.-Germain-des-Prés 6:42 also adds to the charm. The visual splendor is so mesmerizing, the city quickly becomes your own. There is also fashion...of course....I would define the Holiday Fashion in Paris as simple elegance. It’s not about quantity, but instead quality. A few great pieces that are worn over and over, and elevated with accessories, the little things that make a big difference. Semi-sheer tights worn with knee high boots for example, 1:51. Also the beauty routine, a great skin, a dash of red lip lacquer, and a spritz of their favorite perfume to make the festive look complete.

A Paris Walk Passed By The Musee de Cluny
The first Paris walk of the day began at the Hotel Moderne Saint Germaine down the Rue des Ecoles with stops along the way to read plaques on buildings and walk into the courtyard of the Musee de Cluny. The Museum itself is housed in two important Paris monuments - the thermal Gallo-Roman baths built in the 1st century and the gorgeous mansion built in the 15th century.
More about the Museum later. It was too crowded to enter today and we stood with others on Boulevard St. Michel pondering what the meaning of the Asterix comic book posters all along the outside fence actually meant. It finally sink into my pea-brain. Duh...(watch the video) The walk through Paris continued...

Parisian summer street style, relaxed and colorful. Tourists' influence on Parisians.
When the daily life of Parisians crosses paths with that of the tourists...Paris is one of the most visited cities in the world. Millions of people see the “City of Light” each year. Most people visit Paris during the summer months from July through August. Nearly 2.5 million travelers in July, versus 1.75 million per month in shoulder season (April-May, September-October) and barely over a million in January or February. So, if you are visiting Paris during summer, you'll see the crowds everywhere. Tourists are noticeable in Paris. There is a distinct style difference between Parisians and tourists (0:35, 2:07, 4:46). To fit in with locals some tourists leave behind sweatpants, baseball caps, flip-flops, Hawaiian shirts, denim cut-off shorts, activewear, etc. but there are always those who want to be comfortable, and who can blame them??? There are more nuanced ways to blend into Parisian culture during those hot summer months as Parisians themselves under the sun dress a little bit more relaxed. After 9 months of cold weather, Parisians are eager to take full advantage of warm sunny days by wearing comfortable and colorful pieces. Also, thanks to Instagram and social media, which expose shoppers to everything from American brands to laid back Californian style culture, there’s a wider diversity in styles seen across Paris among Parisians. The most iconic images of the Parisian woman, in their perfectly put together neutral outfits 1:39 can still be found, but they now sit alongside women showing off their latest in floral jumpsuits 1:18 and 3:12 or a jean and a t-shirt combo 3:27.

Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Rue Saint Honore
The rue Saint-Honoré is a street in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France. It is named after the collegial Saint-Honoré church (fr) situated in ancient times within the cloisters of Saint-Honoré. The street, on which are located a number of museums and upscale boutiques, is near the Jardin des Tuileries and the Saint-Honoré market.
Like many streets in the heart of Paris, the rue Saint-Honoré, as it is now known, was laid out as early as the Middle Ages or before. The street, at one time, continued beyond the former city walls into what was the faubourg (from Latin foris burgem, an area outside the city). This continuation was eventually named the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
The rue Saint-Honoré has been given the following names in its long history:
The section between the rue de la Lingerie and the rue de la Tonnellerie was named the rue de la Chausseterie from 1300 to the 17th century.
The section between the now extinct rue Tirechappe and the rue de l'Arbre Sec was named the rue du Chastiau Festu (1300) or du Château Fêtu.
The section between the rue de l'Arbre Sec and the now defunct rue du Rempart was named the rue de la Croix du Trahoir, rue de la Croix du Tiroir or rue du Traihoir, du Traihouer, du Trayoir, du Trahoir, du Triouer, or du Trioir between the 13th and 14th centuries; and the rue de la chaussée Saint-Honoré from 1450.
The section between the now extinct rue du Rempart and the rue Royale was known successively as the chemin de Clichy (1204), grand chemin Saint-Honoré (1283), chaussée Saint-Honoré (1370), grand chemin de la porte Saint-Honoré (1392), chemin Royal (1393), nouvelle rue Saint-Louis (1407), grand rue Saint-Louis (1421), rue Neuve-Saint-Louis (1430), grande rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré (1609), chaussée Saint-Honoré (1634), rue Neuve-Saint-Honoré (1638)
In 1966, the part between the Palais-Royal, Théâtre Français, and place André Malraux was given the name place Colette.

How to do Parisian Chic? French women's style and beauty secrets.
What is Parisian Chic style? It's understated and nonchalant elegance. The look is about embracing one's own individual style, sticking to neutral tones and clean lines, mixing high-low and classic and trendy and wearing it all with confidence. The Parisian women who rock the minimalist style in this video, especially the lady at 1:02 are perfect examples of Parisian Chic. The idea is to let the cut of your clothes and the clean color palette be the feature, not statement accessories or color/prints. It is true that looking chic and elegant while keeping it minimal can be a challenge for most of us since glamorous accessories and statement-making ensembles are typically defined as the the means of looking elegant. Neutral shades may not be the most interesting hues you can find but they’re the ones that can make your style look classy and elegant. The key to pulling off the natural and no makeup look starts with skincare. Parisians emphasize skin care over makeup.Their goal is to glow, with highly polished skin. For skincare, they are always in search of natural products. French women use homemade masks to nourish hair and skin. Homemade masks might include lavender if their ancestors were from the South of France, or seaweed if they were from Brittany. I have been using natural moisturizers for some time now. My latest obsession is extra virgin organic coconut oil for cleansing and moisturizing my skin (which deserves its own video). Anyways, too much makeup, French women say, makes a woman seem older. I know the less-is-more approach can seem daunting to some women, so I have listed below the products I use to achieve the effortlessly chic Parisian no makeup look. Enjoy!
