How was our experience?

Amazing the garden is beautiful, clean and there are too many posters and signage printed with facts about his creations. It was educational going to the garden and very relaxing place go and to live as well. The museum is very pretty loads of beautiful memorabilia. His life, family, education and work are there. If you pay for a visit you’ll discover so many things inside the museum. It’s worth a visit especially if you are keen on fashion and lifestyle. You will get more inspirations from him.

    Even if one is not an admirer of Christian Dior (but who isn't? :) ), the location of the museum would entice anyone to visit the villa turned museum dedicated to his work.

    Lovely pictures!

    very interesting indeed!
    Having your home turned into a museum..
    But if you look at at it, it is well preserved.
    And knowing how expensive is real estate in France.
    This house alone must be a fortune!!!
    If you appreciate fashion and lifestyle,
    then this place becomes a must visit.

  1. I love Christian Dior! The first fashion book that was given to me was about his works. =) This would be such a treat if ever I were to stop-by this museum. =)

  1. Gosh! I don't know if my first post went through. Just wanted to say that this museum is definitely lovely! I love Christian Dior. The first fashion book that I owned was of his works. =)

    Not really expensive there. I was looking at the prices of property there a lot cheaper to love than living in England. To be honest it's the place I want to retired. Country side of France is so beautiful. It's easy to fall in love their country side beacause the food are all fresh and lovely, very Catholic and traditional.

    you're one lucky gal...would love to visit that and the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa if given a chance to go to Paris. I think Leonardo Da Vinci and Christian Dior are on the same level....they're both masters of the arts...
