December. VDP's favourite month. And thanks to VDP's Viennese friend Vreni, the Theme Day of the first of the month in the City Daily Photo blogging community is... a girly thing (well, sort of, sorry gents!) This is Costumes et Châteaux (costumes and castles), a fairly new shop right next to Saint Louis cathedral. VDP loooooves the concept: they take your picture in period dress, a period setting with period props! It's a wonderful souvenir for Marie-Antoinette loving tourists and also fun for locals. Lots of pics today, so so sorry but VDP had... yeah, a ball taking them!! The website of Costumes et Châteaux is this way. All takes on the theme are this way. Happy December and happy Advent!
Décembre. Le mois préféré de VDP. Et grâce à l'amie viennoise de VDP, Vreni, le thème du premier du mois dans la communauté des blogueurs City Daily Photo c'est vitrine ! Chez Costumes et Châteaux, sur le parvis de la cathédrale Saint-Louis, on vous prend en photo en costume d'époque -que vous choisissez-, dans un cadre d'époque ! VDP adore le concept, c'est un super souvenir pour les touristes amateurs de Marie-Antoinette et sympa pour les versaillais aussi. Plein de photos aujourd'hui parce que VDP s'est éclatée à les prendre, d'autant que l'accueil fut adorable ! Le site web de Costumes et Châteaux est par ici et toutes les interprétations du thème de ce mois sont par là. Bon mois de décembre et bon Avent !
Smashing pictures, what a great shop, what a great idea, I'm sure it will do a roaring trade...
ReplyDeleteI can see why a lot of people (of all ages) would like this place. Love your photos, too. You've captured well the shop's uniqueness and "coolness."
ReplyDeleteThat is an ideal choice for the theme... very fancy!
ReplyDeleteCharming young man. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric on those lovely frocks!! (I love that word to describe dresses and seldom get to use it!)
ReplyDeleteBien amusant!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this is going to be a booming business! I'd love to have my photo done in one of those fancy costumes. Did you and Vreni try on some dresses?
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite window so far. :)
Great shots. All that's missing is the one with you in costume.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! So did you get into costume? :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of nice things in this post!
ReplyDeleteOh, gorgeous, beautifully captured!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and I love the way you are now including some people in your photos!
ReplyDeleteAs always, you have a stunning entry (entries).

I'm thinking this will be a very popular place for tourists...and at least one CDP blogger. ;)
ReplyDeleteLe selfie en marie antoinette ??
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I would so do this! What a wonderful way to mark a day spent exploring the palace. That photo of the little boy is priceless.
ReplyDeletea great excuse to get to dress up in these beautiful dresses!
ReplyDeleteA very nice choice for the theme, Ciel !
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes !
I would enjoy this place! Beautiful clothes and that little boy is adorable.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to see YOU in one of those costumes, discreetly anonymous, of course! Cool pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh dear--I remembered it was the 1st of December but forgot theme day. I like your images.

A person could have a lot of fun here Ciel.. A very Versailles take on the theme, j'adore!
ReplyDeleteI love December too. The costumes look very elegant. I am sure the shop will draw lots of people to have their picture taken.
ReplyDeleteA very fine display.
ReplyDeleteThat is sure a clever idea, but, no, you would not find me in one of their costumes.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking shop.
ReplyDeleteQuite a bit classier than the ones we have along the boardwalk at the beach.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gem of a shop. Looks so inviting and a fun place to get a suitable costume for a special event.
ReplyDeleteEffectivement ça doit plaire ! As tu essayé ? :)
