Not starving. But oh, for a treat like these! I do love your painting at the top as well.

But yes Paris is a plethora of patisseries and boulangeries on almost every street corner (they do seem to navigate to corners too). And many of them are superb mainly because there are many competitions constantly and a mad drive to be the best in Paris!<br />Standards are very high. It's quite amazing.Parisbreakfasthttp://parisbreakfasts.blogspot.frnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-54256084338078577532013-07-16T13:33:04.643-04:002013-07-16T13:33:04.643-04:00How many of these unbelievable pastry shops are th...How many of these unbelievable pastry shops are there in Paris anyway???? Are other European cities as devoted to pastries and chocolate? <br />I'm a former pastry chef, trained at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY, now living in Las Vegas, where we have a couple of excellent patisseries, for which I feel extremely grateful.

My local fromagerie has some delicious looking ones- that I'd never noticed before, so I will have to try one of those out instead. Pity I can't make it back to Fontainebleau to visit Monsieur Cassel once more. What a gorgeous watercolour you did, you really are so very clever.
