Meet Sarah Boutinon-Tharse

It’s official! Sarah Boutinon Tharse is now High End Weekly’s correspondent in Paris. Although she’s been contributing to this blog for more than a year now, I thought it was time that you get acquainted with this chic Parisienne who happens to have a fierce passion for fencing. Sarah holds degrees in art history, architecture and fine landscaping. Earlier in her career, she worked in the Real Estate industry, but eventually moved to pursue what she’s always been great at, Architecture and Decoration. Here are a few of her favorite things.

Exploring The Grounds of A Modern Master

Musée Rodin dedicated to the works of the French sculptor, Auguste Rodin

Magnificently Rebellious

Once again, our french correspondent, Sarah Boutinon Tharse takes us to a place that all of us long to be – a splendid garden in central Paris. To be more exact, it’s the Musée Rodin located at 79 Rue de Varenne 75007 Paris, France. We highly recommend this particular museum whenever you visit the city of lights. It’s not as mainstream as The Louvre or Musée d’Orsay, but if you love sculptures, and beautifully manicured gardens, this is the one for you. Auguste Rodin was one of the original rebels in Paris. Why do we say that? “[He’s] original work departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality. [He] was sensitive to the controversy surrounding his work, but refused to change his style”. The museum boasts an impressive collection of 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs and 7,000 objets d’art. And believe me, that is a lot to love!

Inside The Alluring Seaside town of La Rochelle, France

Gallic City: La Rochelle, France
Our Paris correspondent, and photographer, Sarah Boutinon-Tharse takes us on a wondrous journey to western France. La Rochelle is a city, and seaport on the Bay of Biscay, a part of the Atlantic Ocean. Sarah not only enjoyed her time at the beach with her family, but during her holidays, she was intrigued once she discovered that this charming town became one of the French center for faience in the end of the 18th century. Bernard Palissy, French Huguenot potter, hydraulics engineer and craftsman, famous for having struggled for sixteen years to imitate Chinese porcelain, was born in the region and had some bearing in the development of French Faience. Follow Sarah on Instagram. She has a joyful and fresh eye for details, and a keen understanding of her beloved country. All of these attributes shine through her photographs.
