It was lovely and so wonderfully located. Across the street, at that time, was another patisserie. It was delicious with melt away cookies that I spent my last francs on to eat on the trip home.<br />On my next visit I expected to find the same patisserie but was surprised to find Pierre Hermes. It had just recently opened and the lines were around the corner! I knew it would be fabulous because Parisians would not wait in line were that not so. I couldn't wait to try it. I feel in love with the Rose Macarons!Also, this delicious Pistachio cream tart topped with strawberries.<br />Each time I read your stories about macarons, I remember that flavor of Rose. It never fails to evoke Paris.Sharon K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12317628650991239595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-53578550005381602652009-10-06T06:15:40.233-04:002009-10-06T06:15:40.233-04:00I strongly recommend a lovely and peaceful B&B...I strongly recommend a lovely and peaceful B&B next to Notre Dame and the Seine River... so charming and restful! please, visit Private Homes who publishes it http://www.private-homes.com/paris<br /><br />Hervé Williamsson.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741475021879854244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-12348701046470742942009-03-02T17:45:00.000-05:002009-03-02T17:45:00.000-05:00Hmmmmh, my kingdom for a croissant right now!

Other establishments such as the École Polytechnique (also a ParisTech engineering school) have relocated in recent times to more spacious settings.<BR/><BR/>The area gets its name from the Latin language, which, as the international language of learning in the Middle Ages, was once widely spoken in and around the University.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Wikie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-72691062931771564592009-02-28T12:09:00.000-05:002009-02-28T12:09:00.000-05:00rue Bonaparte in the 6th is the Latin Quartier?
