JULIE CAILLEUX MIALET
OCCUPATION: Director of La Tour Camoufle, an antique gallery that specializes in 18th century French furniture, tapestry, and paintings. I'm also a gemologist with my own jewelry line, Les Pierres de Julie.
MY STYLE: Classic colors with high heels and a hint of craziness (colored butterfly glasses, colorful necklaces) and one of a kind pieces of jewelry.
I LOVE PARIS BECAUSE: Paris is magic. The light is beautiful. I love to cross the Seine for the fantastic view of the city.
Jardin des Tuileries
The gardener of King Louis XIV re-designed Catherine de Médici's palace grounds in the mid-1600s, creating the quintessentially French Jardin des Tuileries we know and love. In the 19th century, the park became a place to see and be seen, and remains one of the most visited parks in the city. This is due to both its pristine beauty and its location — the park is situated just outside the Louvre, making it the perfect spot to digest the museum's extensive collection (and perhaps a café au lait).
