Un tour aux Quatre Temps
Wednesday Oct 10, 2007
Wednesday Oct 10, 2007
Cet après-midi, je suis allée faire un tour au centre commercial Les Quatre Temps de La Défense. C’est un grand centre commercial, c’était même le plus grand d’Europe à son ouverture dans les années quatre-vingt.
Pour m’y rendre, j’ai pris le train. La Défense n’est qu’à quatre minutes de ma gare.
En fait, j’y allais dans un but particulier : acheter quelques nouvelles affaires pour ma petite fille. J’ai parcouru plusieurs magasins, mais quelle déception! Je trouve la mode de cette année pour les petites filles vraiment déprimante. C’est la mode des petites blouses et des petit manteaux comme dans les années cinquante. Les couleurs sont tristes : violine, vieux rose, marron, gris. Ce sont des couleurs de mamies! Pas question que j’habille ma fille d’à peine deux ans comme si elle allait tourner dans une adaptation télévisée d’un épisode du commissaire Maigret!
Je suis donc rentrée à la maison les mains vides.
Cela faisait des mois que je n’étais pas allée aux Quatre Temps et une plongée de temps en temps dans l’univers de la consommation pure et dure ce n’est pas désagréable (à condition de ne pas en abuser, bien sûr).
