  • Paris: a wedding celebration on the river seine

    I’ve lived in Paris for a few years now and i still marvel at the beauty of the city. Its architecture is breathtaking; I often have to pose and simply enjoy the vista. There is no doubt it is the city of Love.

  • A wedding celebration at the chapelle Expiatoire in Paris


    Chapelle Expiatoire
    Louis XVIII commissioned French architect Pierre Fontaine to build a chapel on the spot in expiation, forgiveness, for the crimes of the Revolution, and in memory of his brother and his Queen.
    Taking over two years to clear the site for construction, Fontaine completed the work and Chapelle Expiatoire was inaugurated in 1826.
    The dome of Chapelle Expiatoire was the creation of architect Charles Percier.
    The last service to be held in the Chapel was in 1882.
    The Chapelle Expiatoire is surrounded by a lovely and inviting garden, Square Louis XVI.
    It is a quiet and popular oasis of park benches, swaths of grass, plantings of flowering shrubs and beds of roses.
    The many types of trees in the garden were planted to commemorate the different classes of people who died during the Revolution.

  • Alain Bernard coiffeur extraordinaire

    Alain Bernard is probably one of the best hairdresser in Paris. His salon is located in the rue St Honoré neighborhood of Paris. He has a passion for Opera and takes classes with Suren Shahidjanyan in Paris once a week. Olivier followed Alain in between the hairdressing salon and his opera class on a beautiful afternoon.

It was followed by a raft flowered set on a glass basin in raspberry, acid green and white tones with fruit scabious, hellebore, hydrangea grenadine,buttercup bicolor,narcissus, viburnum, pepper berries, anthurium leaf.
