I have been visiting Paris from time ...Dear Carole. I have been visiting Paris from time to time since 1972. It has never seemed intimidating to me. Whenever I am in France and Italy I am always on a budget with the idea that the more careful I am, the longer I can stay. What your blog has that I have taken away is a greater appreciation of what is behind those stylish patisserie doors. I avoided expensive chocolate shops and patisseries. After all your fabulous patisserie photos I realize that the stylish and sophisticated wares are really worth the expense. So next time I will visit all the fancy patisserie names and stay not quite as long. A note about maccarons: they are so much the rage in Australia that even regional cities like Ballarat here have a variety of choice....even Ballarat Maccas (MacDonalds) have macca rons and only a dollar each!!! Your blog style is perfect.

It's been 10 years since I spent a lovely week in both Paris & Dijon... I layed under the Eiffel Tower for two hours just gazing up at it. Yes, I know...strange. I did so with about 10 other friends, so I didn't feel so odd to do that. But...I just wanted to breathe the moment in ...it was intoxicating, just like your posts that remind me of my time there. Your blog helps me to revisit the reason I love Paris! My Beloved Husband says he's taking me there for our 30th wedding anniversary! I have two years yet, and I cannot wait! :) Merci!~CC Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792691562262851929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-40581844565081903042010-09-22T13:37:13.943-04:002010-09-22T13:37:13.943-04:00I love this question.

I am a little late to this comment party but I just had to add that I found your blog by looking for images of "a paris breakfast" on google for my modest little blog post on our family's trip to France (2008). and I have been hooked ever since. I first fell for your lovely watercolor images of cafe scenes and macarons. You influenced me so much in my curiousity for macarons that last summer when we went to London and I found a Paul's patissiere I HAD to try the mini assortment...they were wonderful. But I love PB for your perspective, your awesome photos of too many Paris details that I had never noticed, your art (my favorite morning mug is my PB mug), and your fun foodie nature. I cannot thank you enough for how fun the PB ride is for this reader.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178225907455093962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-52513204868867804572010-09-22T12:23:46.795-04:002010-09-22T12:23:46.795-04:00Dear Carol, what do we take away?...
You know ther...Dear Carol, what do we take away?...<br />You know there's a strong stereotype about French people being snobbish and Paris being expensive and intimidating. <br />Since I started reading your daily blog, I become more interested in the city, and with an idea that we don't need to have a ton of money (even though it would be nice!) to enjoy the city. People there are interesting, fashionable and know a thing or two about good food!<br />So why not follow your steps and get to know them better?<br />That's my dream after I read your posts, to follow your steps and recommendations.

It's about all things beautiful, inspiring and French. Your uniqueness (in my humble opinion, mlle) is the way you string things together. You bring together all the layers of Paris in wonderfully concocted stories that show the good, (a little of) the bad, but mostly the joyful, colorful and inspired sides of Paris. xoSweet Freakhttp://www.dessertfordinner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-84627482893280333532010-09-22T04:00:02.163-04:002010-09-22T04:00:02.163-04:00There is so much to "take away" from you...There is so much to "take away" from your Posts.<br />I love the way you take something small,overlooked or insignificant (is anything insignificant in Paris?)and with your photos, stories, humor and special focus make it into something very real and personal.<br />My HS French teacher did that too.
