The Basque Country (or Navarre) was in existence long before the Spanish political borders encompassed it. There are 3 Basque provinces geographically located within the now political borders of France and 4 in Spain. Stating Balenciaga was Spanish is akin to calling an Irishman an Englishman, they are both in the UK, but VERY different :)labergerebasquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04057578832231849332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574625863250683845.post-77786628981754699422012-06-29T00:58:53.799-07:002012-06-29T00:58:53.799-07:00Jude...as a designer extraordinaire, you would hav...Jude...as a designer extraordinaire, you would have loved those bubbles.

Somewhere near this museum there are Friday night dance parties in the park along the Seine (possibly near Pont de Sully) ... I visited 6 years ago and they were doing Rock and Roll, the Jive and things unknown to me ... apparently it is most locals that turn up ... looked like good fun ..

The designs of Balenciaga are stunning and what a legacy he left through those who studied under him. From what I understand, he was quite the rebel and as a result never given the Haute Couture designation. Bravo for him!<br /><br />What a great excursion ending with the Moonbar!<br /><br />I am looking forward to Jardin des Plantes.
