AESOP Signature StoreMontmartre, ParisBy: Zayikia Hill

Bonne journée!

I am having such a wonderful time here in France, I traveled by metro to Abbesses and was in the heart of Montmartre where the signature store, Aesop rue des Abbesses, is located nearby. I was so delighted with the architecture and culture, I stayed the entire day. Montmartre has a village-like atmosphere and cobblestone streets reminiscent of Chelsea in New York, except with narrow alleys and grand monuments. I was fortunate to visit, Espace Dalí Montmartre, featuring over 300 original works of Dalí. Shortly after I grabbed some crepes and a glass of wine in Place du Tertre, where I discovered a mix of locals, tourist and street artist. I strolled through and admired the colorful canvases, even stopping to get my portrait painted. I also discovered Fêtes des vendanges de Montmartre, an annual October celebration where the locals come together – markets, restaurants, bookshops, cinemas, theatres and even schools – to celebrate the timeless grapes produced. There is so much more to see I can’t wait till tomorrow to return.

Montmartre is the art district of Paris and the most photogenic place I’ve ever visited!

à bientôt!,

Zayikia
