Today’s deets are from Tous Les Bateaux du Monde!
“A long collaboration links the Hermès house and the National Museum of the Navy. In 2010 the latter presented wonderful models made at the request of an insatiable discoverer, Admiral Pâris. Engineer, painter, draftsman, ethnologist, writer, he traveled the seas and became in 1871, curator of the museum. By freely interpreting these models, Aline Honoré pays tribute to the man and the exhibition whose name this square bears. From the Tagus to Calcutta via Chile or Pontdichéry, an invitation to travel in silk and for oneself.”
