Is that why Pierre Herme designed these macaron boxes to look like bicycle wheels? Does anything look nicer than a Pierre Herme sac in a Velib basket?
OUI!A pack of luscious Pierre Herme macarons. You have to be grateful to a niece who gives you good blog post ideas early in the morning when you haven't a clue what to post?
BONJOUR ANABEL!
(that's my niece...Anabel not the squirrel)

Since you featured velos this morning, here is an article from the NYTimes you might want to read, if you haven't already, of course.
that is so funny, I never noticed stuff in "lines", but there ya go, you have proof! So observant! Say, what does one of those macarons taste like anyway? They are pretty...but darest I say it...they look dry? I have never seen or tasted one of those. The macaroons in America are coconutty things.
I'm sure there could be a whole thesis (or two) on the relationship between the French and their bikes. I only wish I lived in an area that was conducive to bike travel.
Anabel!!? What a sweet name. I love it. She sounds like a cutie. In fact, she reminds me of you in her conversation. (She reminds me a bit of Eric, too!)
I agree about the New York Times painting bleak pictures of Paris - they do it with Vienna too. Remember my post about the European Soccer Championship regarding the Ny Times' correspondent's article? :-(
I paint Paris dreams and mail ๐ฎ them ❤️ wherever you are ๐ Receive an illustrated letter ๐ every month from Paris, France ๐ซ๐ท Hi, I’m Carol Gillott, watercolorist ex-NYer living on Ile St-Louis in a 20 meter chambre de bonne sending out Illustrated letters monthly from Paris. A travel artist, travel blogger, writer, watercolorist, photographer, I share my personal travels experiences so you can travel vicariously through my sketches and words.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

I saw it Chas.
Triste! but the NYTimes always paints a blacker picture of things in Paris..they have to!
ugh
The French make even a rodent look good!

J.C. remember Ratatouille was a rodent!
Do not slander French mice!
Great selection, Carol.
It would be nice if we rode more bikes here - but I don't know if it will ever happen.
You get up at 4:30? Ahem......
Oh that was fun! Loved the books too!

I love all the bicycles. When I was in Portland recently I saw bicycles everywhere.
Love love love the silly biking squirrel!
Adorably silly

Ahhh.... so many strikes so many bikes! I wish I'd had one when I lived there! xo
Bikes, macarons, strikes... we have it all! :-)
The only thing more beautiful than PH Macarons in a bicycle basket would be a LOT MORE macs in a bicycle basket!
ps your niece is a keeper!
Lucky I am not in Paris...me and the velo are not friends, xv.
Anabel!!? What a sweet name. I love it. She sounds like a cutie. In fact, she reminds me of you in her conversation. (She reminds me a bit of Eric, too!)
Maybe you should ask her to call every day! ;)
Oh what a niece -
great work!
Yours too! :-)
