Noël à Vaugirard

Yesterday night I received a message from a friend which subject was: A Vintage Merry Xmas
I was obviously very curios to read it, but in fact there was nothing to read, there was just a link, and a short movie to see, the one I am posting here for you.
It was a very nice Xmas present, especially because I was completely unaware of this little film. 
A Nouvelle Vague thing I didn't know about... pretty incredible!
It is the most improbable nativity you can think of, with Serge Gainsbourg as Joseph, Chantal Goya as the Virgin Mary and a bunch of cool actors from the '60's (like Jacques Dutronc and Guy Marchand) drinking, singing and dancing in a not very religious way.
Apparently, this was shown on French TV on 23 December 1966.
This is something that cheered me up a lot.
As it was the case for almost all the '60's things, there is a freshness, a craziness, a carefreeness, a joyful sense of life that make you feel instantly better.
And who doesn't want to feel good on Xmas day?
I really adored it (thanks, Dexter!).
I think it is the best way to wish all my readers, wherever they are, a Vintage Merry Xmas!!!
Truly yours,
Zazie

Le détail qui tue...




While watching Fantastic Mr. Fox, the other day, I noticed in the movie’s little town, among other shops signs, one that looks very familiar to me: DUTRONC DETECTIVE.
Well, the reason is simple: I see this sign almost every day from the bus that brings me home, from the Marais to Montmartre. The real shop sign is DULUC DETECTIVE (18, Rue du Louvre), but the shape, the font, the neon light, are exactly the same.
I guess Dutronc is a tribute to French singer/actor Jacques Dutronc.
I took a picture of it today: think about it when you watch the movie!

I know, it is just a stupid detail, but isn’t that adorable?!
In Wes we trust,
Zazie
