Framboise

I was wrong when I said the tendance was PINK in Paris. non! It's framboise.
Printemps has a pop-up store to prove it. Nothing but framboise. Rien de toute. These shoes are missing red berries. Big framboise bear. Framboise dog.



They had funny framboise pins.
 Fauchon's framboise madeleine -Miam-miam
It looks like she is flinging framboise seeds as a treatement.
Pierre Frey loves framboise light...
Marie-Papier says write on framboise papier.
For your newborn? Framboise little woolies from Jacadi.

I'll taste a framboise cupcake before I leave.
Yesterday at Secco - framboise!
 La Mom in Paris said, I want to know French Girl's secret to complex framboise dressing. Wouldn't we all like to know. Yesterday I found out French Girl has been reading my blog all along. I istantly spilled framboise yogurt down my front.
I assumed that everything was colored framboise in FG's apartment because the runners are framboise. I was corrected. They are RED. It is traditional in French apartments to have RED runners.
Jamais framboise.
 Fr girl's mint in a pot framboise.
 I asked for 'framboise' jam with my croissant, but I got fraise/strawberry. c'est comme ca.
BONJOUR FRAMBOISE!

  4. After I recovered from the whiplash of changing from pink to framboise, I could not help noticing: 5.5 Euros for a cupcake???? You're going to have to paint a lot of framboise to pay for that one! We can only thank our lucky stars you are willing to sacrifice all in the name of "research". Carry on! No matter the cost in Euros or calories! America (and Europe) depends on you.

  5. Lovely!

    Is that your sketchbook?

    I love famboise! A couple of years ago I go tired of the Christmas red and our Christmas meals have been served on rasperry accents ever since.

  6. Love the 'fraboise-athon' in Paris. Would love to know how French girl drives the framboise as I would look so conservative if it was me. Carla ps thanks for the lovely note about Paris Tango. Carla x

    I asked and the most popular color for Lacoste shirts in Paris now is FRAISE !! I guess any red fruit will do? How about cherry (back to your old red) or watermelon? Actually, the Lacoste fraise looks like framboise to me. It is all beautiful and makes me smile!

    I'm really enjoying your recent posts about framboise and pinkI'm from Melbourne Australia. I stumbled across your blog about a year ago when searching the internet for a great macaroon recipe and have been following it ever since. I visited Paris back in January for the first time and if it wasn't for your blog I probably would never have stepped foot in Laduree or tasted a Pierre Herme macaroon as I would not have known...

  21. Hier a Paris nous avons mange des framboise sauvage ramasser par notre landlady in her country garden.

    Thanks for the pictures of Laduree, Cafe de Flore etc as we are missing Paris and our little apartment already.

    Have you tried Amorino pistache?

    Do you know Rouger et Pli in the 3em, great art supplies?

    You must see Luciian Freud at the Pompidou if you havent.

    Happy blogging, you are our connection to Paris
