charlot, my darling (and charlotte, my other darling)!
charlot one.
a lovely smallish street in paris, in the 3ieme arroundisement. just a bit 'up' from the marais, but really kind of an extension of this gentrified district. fine, elegant, around the corner from the musée picasso - so sweet, and so easy to bypass. it's charms do not bite, although to me they are plainly obvious. firstly, passage de retz. jacqueline frydman's terrific gallery perched on the courtyard side of a door off of the rue. a great space with a small but adorable canteen, a mini design store, a desk which serves as the lobby, and an always titillating array of modern and provocative art. further afield, up towards republique and oberkampf, this place continues to grow on me.
charlotte two.
gainsbourg. how sweet and fresh she is. almost died in a u.s. waterskiing accident? non! this we cannot allow! not our little impish charlotte, star of films too numerous to mention (but i can start with prete-moi ta main, l'un reste l'autre part, la science des reves). bared shoulders thrust forward, intense and flip at the same time. always sexy, always funny, always french, even in english! merci, charlotte, pour tous!
bon nuit,

This part of the Marais is the Upper Marais or Haut Marais !
And so much nicer than the Marais for quiet shopping and designer boutiques :-)
