THE PARIS TOTE
A golden dive onto a Sénat chair at the Jardin du Luxembourg heralds the arrival of an enthralled visitor. Art-chives’ chief mascot, the darling palace monkey, has made a wildly glamorous dash across the globe from India to France. France and India have met before but never like this. A story stretching back to the erstwhile Maharajas.
From scoping haute jewellers at Place Vendôme and dazzling boutiques across Rive Gauche, to catching the latest exhibit at Palais de Tokyo and just sitting at a café staring into the city’s bursting history, the darling palace monkey is on a journey of a lifetime. I dream in Paris.
