L comme Leche-Vitrine...

I thought I'd give you a few Paris windows to lick this weekend
i.e. leche-vitrine/window shopping. So we'll begin with some Viennoisserie for starters
Then move on to the hard core ultra, serious patisserie.
You can enjoy your pastry on a plate from Pierre Frey,
with a "pastry" patterned napkin and tablecloth,
while leaning against a "pastry" pillow! Why not?

Really the cheese course should come before dessert...
but who's going to know?

A glass of Champagne wouldn't hurt either...
from Fauchon's windows, their own private brew.
Of course you'll need roses with your Champagne and tarte.
In Paris flowers are out on the street, not hidden behind store windows where you can't enhale the scent.
The truth is woMAN cannot live by pastry alone. This woman will be munching some healthy sandwiches and salads between patisserie bites. Cojean has come up with a wrap especially for October. I've yet to see a September or October wrap in New York. I'll be spending the ENTIRE month of October in Paris starting a week from this Sunday.
If you want to lick more windows:
Bonne Appetit!

    It's the cheeses that really amaze me! There is nowhere in the world like France for fabulous, artisan cheese.

  5. Oh, the Cojean sandwiches look interesting, where can I get these? And oh: If you'll spend one month in Paris in October, why not come by and have a coffee in the photogallery where I work parttime? I would love to welcome the woman who paints such wonderful watercolours.
    If you have time to waste, come and say hello at the FIAP, Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique, mo-friday, 1p.m to 5 p.m, 37 rue de Chanzy, 75011 Paris.
    Have a nice day and bon voyage

  11. Tarts galore! This post reminds me of those books, if you give a moose a muffin, he's gonna want some milk...if you give carol a camera, she 's gonna want to take a walk...preferably in Paris! And aren't we lucky that she does.. lecher les vitrines to your fondest dreams! I want one of those wraps for lunch!

  18. MY FAVORITES! French pastries and cheeses. MIAM! (Yum in French for those who may not know).
    That is so neat that you'll be there for a month this time. You really should go down to Toulouse and check it out ;) We will be in France for a month in April, but I'm ready to go NOW, now that you posted this!

  19. The temptation never ends in Paris, does it? Every once in a while, Cojean does come as a relief. As do the Japanese places along rue Ste-Anne!

  24. This looks all ultra yammy. :-)
    Have you ever tried to find a piece of real cake on a cake covered table cloth? What if I eat by accident a piece of napkin instead?
