I have learned so many things from your blog about new places that I want to go in Paris. Maybe you should publish a travel book for people traveling to Paris and have your lovely illustrations in it! I share your love of macaroons and too frequently go to a macaroon shop here in Charleston, that the couple who own it, are from France.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your blog!Annette in Charlestonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-66858267586785152022012-05-02T12:42:29.796-04:002012-05-02T12:42:29.796-04:00Thanks to your heads up about it, I made sure to p...Thanks to your heads up about it, I made sure to pick some and bring them in spite of the mud and rain.
