Twilight is getting later and, though the sun’s rays are fleeting, a few buds are pointing tender green shoots towards the sky – spring is arriving! And, of course, that means the spring-summer collections at the Grand Palais. "Gardens" and "Rodin: the centennial exhibition" both open in March. Marie and Carl Burgundy have both taken an active interest in these events and have added them to their agendas.
On the 17th, 18th and 19th of March, the 8th edition of the Saut Hermès, an internationally acclaimed obstacle competition, will take place beneath the magnificent canopy of the Grand Palais nave. It’s a dazzling way to pay tribute to the founder of the famous House and state harness maker and saddler. Why not book at stay at Le Burgundy Paris which is just minutes from the event?
Is Carl Burgundy planning to spend Valentine's Day at Place Vendome? No, of course not. The square is beautiful and it embodies all that’s chic about Paris. However, if Carl was to be spotted browsing the windows, stopping to meditate or wandering from door to door, there could only be one reason for it – LOVE. His dear Marie is the one that he carries in his heart and he’d love to offer her a magnificent piece such as those made by the exclusive jewellery designers in the Place Vendôme.
Lovers of vintage cars will know that the Retromobile Show takes place at Paris, Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre from 8th to 12th February 2017. It’s a golden opportunity to (re) discover the Jaguar profile, the classic DS and the mythical Ferrari family. For Carl and Louis Burgundy, the event is already on the agenda!
This important event is a must for gourmets and it never fails to light up the Parisian autumn. The 22nd edition of Salon du Chocolat will take place, as always, at Porte de Versailles from 28th October to 1st November. And, of course, Louis and Victoire Burgundy can’t wait to sample all the treats that await them at Salon du Chocolat this year.
The theme for the 2016 Nuit Blanche is ‘love’. The organisers are creating an event that is inspired by the romantic events of “Poliphile’s Dream" and you’ll be plunged into all the horrors and delights of his journey on a route that never strays too far from the Seine and those romantic bridges that poets hold so dear.
Carl and Marie Burgundy know it very well: just two or three steps from the hotel there is a flowery haven of peace and tranquillity. It’s a good place to enjoy a walk along the shaded paths with family or friends and it’s a lovely spot for a reading break or a picnic. Since they can’t keep a secret from you, they’ll let you in on it – their special place is the gardens of the Palais Royal.
