The only bad thing about Paris, is leaving Paris…oh and planning to shop your heart out the day before you leave and it happens to be May 1 (Europe’s Labor Day). Even the cafés were closed! I cried salty tears in my escargot. Presently, my only comfort is this playlist from Maison Souquet.
If you watched my Stories on Instagram, you know The Boy and I made a temporary home at Maison Souquet, a boutique hotel inspired by the post-impressionistic era of the Belle Epoque. Opulent can’t even begin to describe the interior. However, the outside is more than subtle…hidden you might say…marked only by 2 red lanterns. Why you ask? Maison Souquet was once a pleasure house back in the day.
We ended most nights at The Bar, a reading room slash bordello of boozy beverages. I sipped on a cocktail called Eliza (a vanilla, passion fruit party for the tastebuds) while listening to this playlist.
Oh and don’t fret, I’ll have a more thorough write-up soon with all the deets on the Paris Fleas, but the jet lag has kicked in, and I have toothpicks holding my lids open. I’m also presently scurrying around the house looking through drawers and cabinets, packing up vintage treasures for the Pop-Up Tag Sale at The Savoy Flea. We hope to see you there this Sunday!
