Yup, today is ParisBreakfast's 3rd birthday...so to speak...
701 posts later...ahem
So we're having a bit of an Eiffel Tower extravaganza...
With plenty of French poodles attending!
We do have a little something to celebrate about. Last trip in Paris, we forgot to go up in a balloon...
And we took a gazillion photos of all...
All the beautiful ballerines...
But we forgot to buy any!!?
Don't these "Tendances" macaron pastries look like ballerines? We forgot to taste them...
We forgot to go back and get another packet of these super FAB guimauves by La Mère de Famille too...
And we forgot to go and eat dinner at La Vagenende on Bd St Germain...
Soooooo....
the BIG NEWS is...
We're going BACK TO PARIS mid-May!!!!
Just for 12 days because AirFrance lowered their prices ridiculously...
And because it's our birthday in May...
And JUST BECAUSE!!!
Anyone got a Paris pup for me to rent?
BONJOUR PB Readers!!!!
