The AIM Loft, again, with Laure Boin-Watorek

Yes, another exhibition at the AIM Loft, Eiffel building,
in Paris' Oberkampf area...
'Verdures cévenoles & Bondieuseries'... and Sheep!
by Laure Boin Watorek, visual artist.

The wheel turns... and here is 2012 Easter!

This post is dedicated to the Easter's chocolate addicts... with the help of the best
chocolatiers in Paris...

- La Maison du Chocolat, a kindergarten connection,
with its many shops: Victor Hugo, Paris 16e / Madeleine,
Paris 9e / Printemps Haussmann, Paris 9e / François
1er, Paris 8e / Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris 8e / Carrousel
du Louvre, Paris 1er / Sèvres, Paris 6e, and so on.



A Hen on a Wall,

and the Swimming Poules
by Mrs and Mr Fauchon




Yellow & red ribbon hens and a 2012 creation, the Théobroma Egg, from
the Pierre Hermé's Easter collection (see all the shops HERE).


Patrick Roger, a talented artist.

One + one = two, right?

At Jean-Paul Hévin, 1 hen + 1 fish makes 1 chocolate henfish.

... and so on.
The list ends here. I hope you have found your favourite supplier because, personally,
I've had enough with chocolate. If you are not satisfied yet, you can continue your
quest, of course - the ways of gourmets are endless.

Yours faithful,
G@tto

I think Blogger is the more 'intuitive' platform for blogging. They can change anything
they want in the Dashboard but please... do not modify the photo editor!

2012 Earth Hour in Paris...

March 30/2012 - 8:30-9:30 pm
Paris will switch off for an hour the outdoor lighting of more than
200 public buildings: the City Hall, the Parc des Princes, the Notre
Dame Cathedral, the Hotel des Invalides, the Opera Garnier and
the Opera Bastille, as well as many bridges, fountains and Parisian
squares...
As for the Eiffel Tower, it can't be extinguished for more than 5 mn
for security reasons.
[Here in Griset: candlelight dinner with a firefighter, for security reasons].





Earth Hour 2011 created history as the world's largest ever voluntary action with
people, businesses and governments in 135 countries across every continent
coming together to celebrate an unambiguous commitment to the one thing that
unites us all - the planet.

[EarthHour]
This year, hundreds of landmarks around the world, including Washington’s National
Cathedral, Big Ben in London, the Great Wall of China and Tokyo Tower planned to dim
their lights at 8:30 p.m. local time Saturday as part of a global effort to shine a spotlight
on climate change.

The Badaling section of the Great Wall is shown before Earth Hour in Beijing.
About 124 Chinese cities joined the worldwide initiative to call on people to switch
off unnecessary lights for one hour in support for energy-saving efforts and the
prevention of global warming.
