Skiing in France at christmas ?

Posted on by

Our government is studying three slopes for the opening of the ski resorts for Christmas.

The decision will be made "in the next ten days". Will the ski resorts be able to open at Christmas?

According to our information, Matignon is studying the three possible options that he presented this Monday to mountain professionals. The first is the continuation of health closure with compensation for professionals to compensate for the shortfall. The second is a reopening arranged with a click and collect organization and the possibility of having meals on the terraces, or even on the slopes since the restaurants would remain closed. The third, finally, would be a total reopening.

Treasure of Fashion

Posted on by

The virtuoso men and women behind the scenes of the parades: like the embroiderers and feather workers. Sophie Jovillard sets out to discover the unknown men and women behind the treasures of haute couture, from Chanel to Saint Laurent, passing by Dior, Valentino, Schiaparelli, and Alexandre Vauthier. Each of these designers invented an original universe and his own style, brought his own stone to the history and mythology of fashion. Each one, in his own way, has written a page of this art of clothing with excellence as the only watchword. All have inscribed their names in gold letters in the French cultural and artistic heritage with the help of exceptional artisans still unknown. Documentary by Sophie Jovillard and Anne Gautier (2016)

The documentary is in French but image are so beautiful that I'm sure you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English .
