Le Monkey Club - Lyon



When in Lyon, I visited a place called The Monkey Club. A newly restaurant, cocktail bar (they do Absinthe), that have a British atmosphere. With old English maps on the walls, portraits and others beheaded animals, it should remind you of the times when Jack Ripper was threatening the London population. Something that stricken me was the taste of the water, a quick interrogation of the waiter, yeah those monkey's bottle used to contain Whisky !
The food was really nice, surprising, filling. I had a fish with vegetables paella, join with an orange sauce, my sister had something more meaty, a Cordon-blue, with BBQ sauce. Happy with our choices, we gently approach the bartender for more information about the recipe. He summoned the Chef, that told us he doesn't really know what herbs he put, but he just sprinkled a handful on the preparation, but my sauce contain orange juice ! Clever. The team was quite friendly, and relax, very nice atmosphere. Next time I'll come to try the brunch, or few cocktails !

Little Bear's Friends - Else Holmelund Minarik - Maurice Sendak


On my wanderings in Paris, I passed by the Bouquinistes on the docks on La Seine. On one of the stall a record catch my eyes, it was the soundtrack of Mary Poppins played by Duke Ellington and his Orchestra. But at the end I bought this volume of Little Bear from 1960, I really like Teddy Bear, and the drawing wear by Maurice Sendak. It's so Cute !!!! I jut love his illustrations, and the shades of colors used in the book.

Very good exhibition at La Gaîté Lyrique called The Happy Show.


I went to say hello to some London showroom, such as Fashion Scout.


A very sweet sixteen purchase in the well known shop Colette.



And I went to the Musée Carnavalet to see an exhibition showing the wardrobe of Alice Aleaume, first sale assistante for Haute Couture houses of the 20s and 30s, such as Worth and Chéruit.
