Jeanne Lanvin at the Musée Galliera

Jeanne Lanvin was a woman with a passion for dressing women well. The timeless chic of the pieces exhibited at the Palais Galliera through August 23rd reflect this genius.

Rambouillet, the chateau and the forest

About an hour long train ride from Montparnasse, the domain Rambouillet is a lovely spot to visit all year round. The chateau, gardens and surrounding forest are full of history, sites to see, and things to do.

La Vallee aux Loups

The name is magical. The valley of wolves sounds haunting and enchanted. It's the perfect name for Romantic French author Chateaubriand's country residence, hidden away in the hilly landscape of Chatenay-Malabry just west of the French capital.
