From my grandmother’s collection, this beautiful Paris Match issue dated 25 December 1971 (No. 1181) features an iconic cover of Brigitte Bardot, one of the most recognisable faces of 20th century cinema.
She always kept pieces that captured a moment—and this one does exactly that. Bardot at her peak, photographed with that unmistakable soft glamour that defined an era.
Inside, the magazine includes a dedicated colour photo feature of Brigitte Bardot (8 pages) along with a mix of French news, culture, and period advertising—offering a wonderful snapshot of early 1970s Europe.

Own a little piece of history ❤️

If you enjoy treasures with stories, please have a browse through my other listings — I upload new finds every day.

I’m currently selling my grandmother’s incredible lifetime collection of souvenirs and antiques to help fund a new roof and lovingly restore her beautiful home 🏠.

She was an air hostess in the 1940s and 50s, travelling the world and bringing back unique pieces from every corner ✈️. She later married my grandfather — the pilot she fell in love with in the skies — and together they continued collecting unusual, charming, and historic items.

In the 1960s she became an antiques dealer in her own right, running her business with passion right up until she retired at the grand age of 92.

Now I’m carefully sorting through everything she treasured, hoping these pieces bring you the same joy and nostalgia they brought to my grandparents for so many decades.

Thank you so much for looking — it means the world. 💛
