I had read David's writeup so we got some at the Monoprix - only had 4 breakfasts to eat the whole thing as we were flying somewhere with carry on - yum! and we did it (well I did it - my husband looked on in amazement). And thanks for the other way to get out to the airport - we had always taken the Roissey bus. Sounds like a change of address for you??? That means even more Paris breakfasts for you to write about???
