Holiday Lights and Displays

Printemps in Paris Enchanted crowds




Well, before we get too far away from the holiday season, I want to show you some holiday lights from Paris. Printemps is a major clothing store in Paris and has Holiday lights and windows that really put most US retailers to shame. We arrived here in Paris the first full week of January and luckily for us, before all of the holiday decorations were gone. The lights blink and shimmer with exuberance that illustrates that Printemps is a fun place to be and an even better place to shop!

The window displays were both magnificent and elaborate. Crowds in front of the windows spoke to the incredible complexity and whimsy seen in the exhibits. Several windows illustrated puppets, dancing through the intricate panoramas. Windows featuring puppets also offered steps and a viewing platform for the children who stood enthralled. Each window had a predominant color and historical premise.
I will go back and see the post-holiday windows soon and photograph the newest creative endeavors of the amazing window display artists.
