Go to Place Vendome in Paris and there you will find the world famous Ritz Hotel. I don’t venture there very often but a friend of mine wanted to look at their flower arrangements. Apparantly they have a new florist so we stopped by. The security guy inside the front door looked at us with a fishy eye but let us in anyway.

Here is a large flower arrangement in a salon. He, the floral designer, likes to use black glass I’m told.

A closeup of the flowers. You can see the reflection of the beautiful room in the mirror. We sat there on a couch for a little while and just enjoyed the ambience.

There was even a fireplace burning real wood. An employee came by every twenty minutes or so to keep it going and to fluff up the cushions. Such luxury.
