I MISS PARIS! Paris me manque terriblement and I NEED A FIX. Merci for giving me a temporary one, ma chère.
ReplyDeleteI can answer a few of the questions...
Some are guesses!
A pâtisserie in Paris (duh)
Christian Laboutin's red shoes- the ladies are obviously françaises- my guess is along the strip of designer shops near the Plaza Athenée (my hotels of choice are in the Rue Cler area- I just love to stroll through the lobbies of the big, fancy ones- I haven't been stopped yet!)
Warren Zavatta some comedian- I've only seen signs
garbage truck also cleans the street- it's green with the red stripes giving it the right color combo
Métro dog!
Red sweater tied around the waist- trop chic
Striped sweater? je ne sais pas- je ne shop pas
Petit Nicolas by Goscinny- I love that kid! I didn't go see the exhibit either, though.
Cosmetics at Au Bon Marché? Doesn't look like Galeries Lafayette- I prefer BM anyway because of the Grande Epicierie
Café has been consumed!
Maison de Presse sign- buy your magazines and newspapers
Pomegranate macarons? I need to try my hand at making these things soon! A friend brought me a box of them from La Durée last fall when I was in Arles and she came to visit... oh là là. Pure paradis.
Enough rambling! Thanks for the wonderful post.
Teresa

What a fun post! I dont know many of the answers however. I knew the Petite Nicholas image because I just did a post on that (and the new movie coming out)
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteI looove your website.
Not sure where they are in the first photo but they are on the corner next to a stop light. The doggy is in the metro station, the woman walking is Madame Sarkozy, they are drinking cafes, or maybe espressos-- no milk. Street cleaner truck. That is a belt or a sweater. I think that is Agnes B or maybe Sonia Rykiel?
The red sign is a pharmacy. The store is Printemps?
And the flavor is framboise-- or red currrent.
The eclairs look like Pierre Herme or Laduree.
Ok, those are my guesses.
A bientot,
Lani
That's the librairie, near St Michel and the Cluny (my fave)
ReplyDeleteThe feet are Carla Bruni's
I don't know about the red nose guy
the hound is in the metro
the designer is Agnes B.
artist Sempe (love him, love Petit Nicholas!)
is it Galerie Lafayette?
Were they drinking chocolat chaud?
Don't know the red sign
is the macaron framboise?
how about Laduree?
OK, mostly guesses, but fun!
Merci Carol!
