Black cats are lucky, and in this case the luck caught on with the serendipitous location of perfumer Annick Goutal's beautiful flagship store in Paris a leisurely half dozen or so doors down from our hotel on rue de Bellechasse in the 7th arrondissement.  

As luck would also have it, Annick Goutal's newest release is called Chat Perché (Perched Cat).  So their window displays featuring fun faux felines perching and playing made for a perfect photo opportunity and illustration for me. 

In chatting with the delightful Marie who assisted us so helpfully, she explained that this perfume "is our new invitation for grown ups and little ones to play and celebrate the countless sensations you were used to feel, mesmerised by every single detail of the nature."  I suspect our little black kitty cat here is hoping to be mesmerised by a pot of cat grass shortly.  And on that note ...

Happy Francophile Friday to you!
