Galeries Lafayette à Paris !

Après avoir créé l’évènement l’an passé, à l’occasion de son 100ème anniversaire, le magasin des Galeries Lafayette va à nouveau célébrer Noel avec ses vitrines illuminées et son habit de lumière. C’est à partir du 6 novembre que le célèbre magasin du boulevard Haussmann s’habillera aux couleurs de Noel dont les vitrines, cette année, seront aux couleurs du film "la Belle et la Bête", avec Léa Seydoux et Vincent Cassel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       L’histoire L'histoire ne dit pas encore si l’un des acteurs participera aux lancement des illuminations, mais il ne serait pas étonnant de voir Vincent Cassel à l’occasion.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Le sapin de Noel des Galeries Lafayette :                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    En 2013 le traditionnel sapin de Noel situé sous la coupole est signé Swatch qui fête cette année ses 30 ans. Haut de 20 mètres et surélevé à 4 mètres du sol, le sapin de Noel des Galeries Lafayette s’anime à chaque heure pour laisser place à un petit théatre éphémère, sous la coupole.

Le sapin de Noel sera dévoilé ce mercredi 6 novembre.

Fin des animations de Noel aux Galeries Lafayette, le 31 décembre 2013.                

Hissé sous la coupole byzantine, classée Monument Historique des Galeries, le sapin de Noël a été décoré cette année selon une conception de Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.

Un sapin couronné : D'une hauteur de 20 mètres et surplombé d'une couronne de 1,50 mètres de diamètre, le tradionnel sapin de Noël des Galeries Lafayette reste le plus impressionnant des sapins érigés en grands magasins. Après Christian Lacroix, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac s'est vu confier le choix de sa décoration, qu'il a voulue fastueuse, avec près de 500 guirlandes qui scintillent toutes les heures. Un clin d'œil à la tour Eiffel

SCOOP : Laetitia Casta sera la marraine 2013/2014 des illuminations des "Champs Elysées" : coup d'envoi prévu le 21 novembre 2013  ...   

La 80ème "Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre"se déclinera autour de l’Art des mets et de l’Art d’aimer ...


du 9 au 13 octobre 2013  !

L’amour, c’est  … les duos mythiques Roméo et Juliette, La Belle et la Bête, Castor et Pollux, les couples célèbres Edith et Marcel et de nombreuses grandes figures de la chanson, de l’histoire et de la littérature.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                On On pense à Mistinguett, la toute première marraine de la Fête des Vendanges, Dalida qui fêterait cette année ses 80 ans et Édith Piaf, disparue depuis 50 ans. Trois immenses chanteuses inspirées par l’Amour. Plusieurs décennies d’iconographie confirment l’inclinaison de la Butte au plus doux des sentiments. Montmartre c’est la grivoiserie des cabarets, l’amourette de la nuit, l’érotisme du musée ...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Montmartre Montmartre, c’est aussi la passion de Louise Michel, éprise de justice sociale. Parce que l’amour c’est aussi l’amitié, la fraternité, la solidarité, l’altérité, l’échange !

La Fête des Vendanges est un moment de rencontre entre les générations, entre les différentes cultures, un hommage à tous les habitants du 18ème.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A l’occasion des 80 ans de la Fête des Vendanges, le programme va favoriser cet élan rassembleur :

   * en faisant découvrir les quartiers du 18ème à travers parcours et transports amoureux, visites des vignes, balades passionnées, conférences coquines, aubades ou scènes de balcons énamourées.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              * en suscitant la communication amicale et amoureuse à travers l’écriture de messages par des écrivains publics les “Facteurs d’amour”, ou encore par un concours de la lettre d’amour, des expositions de Mail Art, un arbre à palabres, un mur de graff ...
   
* en imaginant deux Grand Bals Amoureux, un immense Hymne à l’Amour chanté par des choeurs du 18ème rejoints par le public, une création collective “Amours en vie” imaginée par le compositeur Nicolas Frize avec les habitants  … Embrassades, câlins, bisous et accolades seront de toutes les manifestations de la Fête.



   * en déclinant l’Art des mets, parce que la Fête des Vendanges reste un moment de partage gourmand, de dégustation et de convivialité, avec sa vigne fréquentée par Dionysos et Cupidon, ses artisans de bouche qui proposent des accords gourmands mets et vins, des petits déjeuners d’amoureux en tête-à-tête, sa soirée “Accords gourmands et mariages insolites”. Sur le Parcours du Goût, au pied du Sacré-Cœur, des milliers de personnes festoient dans une grande noce populaire de bons crus et de bonne chère autour des stands des régions.

   * en concevant un Grand Défilé jouant plus que jamais sur le lien entre les confréries traditionnelles vineuses ou gastronomiques et des formes nouvelles. À l’occasion de ses 80 ans, la Fête des Vendanges propose de donner l’opportunité de créer des Confréries sur le thème de l’Amour et de la Fraternité,  en donnant un coup de projecteur sur la Cérémonie des non-demandes en mariage "devant le mur des Je t’aime" et sur fond de murmures de je t’aime. 

 * en rassemblant les enfants du 18ème sur deux événements phares : La Grande Chorale de 850 écoliers autour de chansons tendres et La Journée des Enfants et ses 600 Petits Facteurs d’Amour allant porter leurs messages sous l’Arbre à palabres. Au goûter, palmiers en forme de cœur et de pommes d’amour !

 * en offrant au public un moment de liesse populaire à travers le célèbre feu d’artifice au pied du Sacré-Cœur, véritable déclaration haute en couleur de Joseph Couturier “Parlez-moi d’amour”.

Charme garanti avec Alain Chamfort !
