ABC Wednesday—R is for "Repetto"


It's conveniently located on rue de la Paix, around the
corner from the Opéra Garnier—home of the
Paris Opera Ballet company, the world's oldest
(it was founded in 1661 by Louis XIV).
This is where ballerinas come to get their ballet slippers
—male dancers too (Nureyev was a customer).

Thursday Challenge—"clothes"

I was in Paris for a short visit, and passed by the
Repetto store on rue de la Paix one night.  Ballerinas
come here to buy pretty tutus in sorbet colors . . .

and standard-issue pale pink
toe shoes too.
