    A number of years ago I was lucky enough to see an art exhibition called "Artistic Luxury" and featuring the works of Tiffany, Lalique, and Faberge. Most works were shown at the Paris Exhibition of 1900 and the focus was on the idea that, to the three firms, the design and artistry were more important than the materials and carat count. While not calling out direct comparison, there were examples of comparable works from other jewelers. For example, there were two examples of cigarette cases in the Louis XVI style. The Cartier version, while probably of higher carat weight, was not even in the same league as the Faberge.
    Some of the jewels and clothes were wearing the person, rather than the other way around.

Yes, these Events are important, but everyone there should also understand that the ordinary people, here in the U.S. & in France, also want & need their time off to rest, sleep, & spent time with their families/friends & do the things they enjoy doing with their free time! I don’t think it’s their passion to be overworked & sleep deprived on a regular basis!!!! They are been taken advantage of - and just because the Ambassador says she appreciates the staff, that doesn’t mean their Labor Laws should be ignored!!!

    For a restaurateur who is 7MM Euros in debt, the Divellec owner has to get his act together: deciding on table settings the day before opening his new restaurant is laughable. He shows up a day before the opening and behaves like an angry teenager, complaining about things that "should have been done four months ago." So where was he four months ago? Laissez-faire project management landed the restaurant in a real mess. On opening night, we find out that he didn't even have a training & test run with the kitchen staff - which leads some of his guest to say they think the restaurant is "still getting the hang of it." In terms of attitude, this is not Michelin star territory, so he should count himself as fortunate to have gotten the one star which Divellec was awarded.

      @@lilylittlemonster5 Let's not be too quick to bash rich people. Although low to middle income class are the biggest consumers, the rich are the biggest producers of goods and jobs, as well as services. Let's take Bernard Arnold as one example. Now the richest man in the world, his contributions to the French economy are very significant. In France, one job created directly by LVMH generates four for the French economy1. This is equivalent to around 160,000 people working indirectly for the Group1. THAT is significant! Infrastructure: LVMH has more than 500 stores and 110 manufacturing facilities and workshops located across France1. The group opens several manufacturing facilities each year in France, notably for Louis Vuitton. Arnold, along with Bettencourt (richest woman in the world) promote France around the world as being leaders of fashion and luxury goods that one cannot put a price on, as it brings back tens of billions or euros back into the economy. Just imagine this.... what if all the billionaires of France moved out of the country and relocated their headquarters outside of France. How would that make your standard of living better? It would be a disaster for the country with higher unemployment, loss of CAC40 value, higher inflation, and a dramatic increase in poverty. Start looking at things positively -- it's what Americans do and they're very successful. Look at the glass half full and be thankful the French economy produces some of the richest people in the world... because THEY create jobs.

And before all those likewise beings as the chef get on a defensive 'rant'. Ask yourself - if you would be prepared to be dropped into a boiling vessel of water still alive. No I thought not.
    Has for telling the world what jewellery you own and where you are going to be and at what time etc, is that 'stupidity'...or just shear vulgarity in flaunting your richness....probably the both!
    There is a wide divide between 'Rich' and 'The Wealthy'. And those 'wealthy and clever' enough unlike most, chose to keep a very low profile. An example of this would be someone like Amancio Ortega, net worth - 99.5 'Billion', and in his 87 years very rarely photographed and never does interviews or talks to the media. Now that is humble, intelligence...and 'real wealth'. Unlike many, he knows when someone is blowing Hot Air up his Arse!

    The restaurant section of this vlog was very intresting, although the video was from 2016. The rich Russians have appeared to nowhere, they are now still everywhere, in spite of war, sanctions etc. In Paris, Caribian, Asia, Dubai. They have bought their freedom in good time and moved their money to Switzerland and off shore destinations and live like everything is like before. Uff. Groce. Money talks and bullshit walks. Service providers for rich ppl do not mind the origin of money, never done so. Just the casflow counts.
