A peculiar gift from Louis XVI to Marie Antoinette
|
|
|
In the 18th century, King Louis XVI was quite fond of his Château de Rambouillet, an hour outside of Paris, but his new wife wasn't so keen to visit the Yvelines countryside.
|
|
|
So, in effort to convince the young Queen to visit his beloved chateau more often, he built – wait for it – an "ornamental creamery," which is exactly what it sounds like: a space to produce and taste dairy products – which was quite trendy at the time.

"The “boho chic” style that dominated the 2000s—picture Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, or Kate Moss in printed skinny pants and a butterfly-sleeve blouse or oversize blazer—owes much to Isabel Marant. She was also one of the pioneers of fashion’s move toward athleisure when she dropped her hugely influential wedge sneaker in the early 2010s."

How Jacqueline Taieb’s ‘7AM’ captured youth culture in 1960s France
|
|
|
|
|
"Shortly after Taieb shared the song, the student protests and strikes of May 1968 saw young people almost bring down the French government. Evidently, young people in France were becoming more liberated than ever before; there had been a complete cultural shift. While Taieb’s song might just seem like a bit of fun, it perfectly captures youth culture in ‘60s France, which was concerned with rebellion, innovation and freedom, partly inspired by the sounds of guitars from across the pond."
