As is their custom, Marie and Victoire Burgundy have decided to plan a weekend of shopping. Just for girls. The men are left with their sandwiches and toys while they head off to look at dresses in autumn colours, shimmering scarves, and the latest perfumes – the sweet scents are the perfect excuse to stop for a hot chocolate!
From 19th to 22nd October, Paris will host the FIAC or, for the uninitiated, the International Contemporary Art Fair. It’s an event that combines culture and leisure and one that the Burgundy family wouldn't miss for the world.
The capital's most beautiful gardens will be honoured on September 23rd and 24th. The Fête des Jardins de Paris is in full swing and hectares of greenery, trees, lawns and flowers are open to Parisians and visitors to the city. The Burgundy family is among the event's most enthusiastic followers.
The 34th edition of European Heritage Days runs from September 16th to 17th, The event was created in 1984 on the initiative of Jack Lang, then Minister of Culture, and 34 years later there are still so many wonders to discover! The Burgundy family is ready: comfortable shoes, camera, lightweight jackets just in case ... now they just need to agree on a programme!
In August, the light is already leaning towards autumn and taking on the tints of late summer. It's the ideal time for a quiet walk in that romantic haven of peace and calm, the Tuileries Gardens.
And so, it was planned; Louis and Victoire would organise a special trip for a beautiful August day. They spent a lot of time on the internet first trying to choose the best and fullest programme so, they're quite proud of themselves when they present the results of their searches to Marie and Carl – a trip to discover the capital's most original glaciers.
The July 14th French national holiday is an experience to savour in Paris. The festive spirit reigns from the morning and there are lots of exciting activities throughout the day.
This is the crazy bet of Marie Burgundy. The challenge: to discover all of Paris as a family between 10 am and 5 pm. A daring challenge perhaps, but a game worth playing. If she succeeds, Marie wins a gourmet tea time at The Burgundy Bar. What could be more motivating?
On June 18, the verdant Chantilly racecourse hosts the prestigious Prix de Diane. It’s a double, a parade of fillies – and a parade of hats, as visitors compete to become Miss Diane, the day’s most elegant racegoer. A glamorous sporting event that had the Burgundy family reaching for its finest attire. The entire family? Well…almost…
