On June 18, the verdant Chantilly racecourse hosts the prestigious Prix de Diane. It’s a double, a parade of fillies – and a parade of hats, as visitors compete to become Miss Diane, the day’s most elegant racegoer. A glamorous sporting event that had the Burgundy family reaching for its finest attire. The entire family? Well…almost…

French perfume is the finest in the world, yet, until recently, perfume did not have its own museum in Paris. The situation was rectified a few months back, last December to be precise, when the Grand Musée du Parfum opened its doors at 73 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The setting - a splendid mansion that has also housed Louis Roederer Champagne and luxury fashion brand, Christian Lacroix. This prestigious address is just a few minutes’ walk from the Burgundy Paris.

Marie and Carl Burgundy have both taken an active interest in these events and have added them to their agendas.
On the 17th, 18th and 19th of March, the 8th edition of the Saut Hermès, an internationally acclaimed obstacle competition, will take place beneath the magnificent canopy of the Grand Palais nave.

Is Carl Burgundy planning to spend Valentine's Day at Place Vendome? No, of course not. The square is beautiful and it embodies all that’s chic about Paris. However, if Carl was to be spotted browsing the windows, stopping to meditate or wandering from door to door, there could only be one reason for it – LOVE. His dear Marie is the one that he carries in his heart and he’d love to offer her a magnificent piece such as those made by the exclusive jewellery designers in the Place Vendôme.
