BEAR is safely home in New York YAY! 
Our last day in Paris was drizzly, overcast. Sunday, so no one was out which is always nice :) 
BEAR decided we must do a last quick run to Champs-Elysees. 
L'Arc de Triomphe. 
Crazy Parisian runners in the rain. 
Last Parisien dog and a big one! 
Easter bears in a window.
Inside a not so dreamy 30-minute wait
For gooey pastries.
We waited 30 min only so BEAR could take a last Metro ride in a pastry bag. 
BEAR suggested we take AirFrance Bus to Charles de Gaulle Airport since it's faster then the RoisseyBus especially if you go on Sunday morning.
We got there in 20 minutes with loads of time to browse duty-free.
BEAR badly wants a 'I was in Moulin Rouge' T-shirt.
Ahhh - this was such a sweet post. I could feel Paris crying that you were leaving....
ReplyDeleteDear, dear bear. That photo of him looking out the plane window is priceless.
ReplyDeleteBear, I'm jealous of you :(
ReplyDeleteThat Bear sure gets around!
ReplyDeleteAnd such expensive tastes!
Positively shocking!!!
"I was in Hermes" something or other...LOLOL!!! I would be right there with you! Those Hediard boxes are amazing too! Great post and looks like it was a great trip.
ReplyDelete.. sniff sniff ... well, time to plan for next trip ... I MUST tell you how much I listen to those Ines little RV snippets that you had on your post one day (ordered the book of course) but just today I played a few, and they put you in such a darn good mood. Thanks so much, Carol ... you are a gem.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home...love the photos and the reminders of Paris. I had my first macaron yesterday in NYC! Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love that first image - says it all about good-byes!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I'd love a raspberry tart with my afternoon tea! Thanks for the armchair travelling experience.

ReplyDelete:))))
I love your Paris's posts!! And the bear is so cute looking at the plane window...Wellcome back!! xx
ReplyDeleteSo many great photos!
ReplyDeleteThat opening shot is perfect!
After the shots of the grey, drizzly day, the pastries really look so colorful and delicious!
Glad that you and Bear are back!
Ah-glad to hear you're home safe and sound, Carol and Bear. Sounds like it was a fun trip. Welcome back state-side!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to see you in Paris. Next time, please bring Bear to Le Sélect. I was kinda sad he wasn't there. He's a STAR!!
ReplyDeleteBear is ever so sweet sitting in that pretty green Laduree bag with his elegant pink bow ~ But yes I know the feeling, some-times it's nice to be home.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteBear didn't join when we met (making a siesta I suppose), but I'm happy to see that you both enjoyed to the very last minute! :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home to you, Carol and Bear.
ReplyDeleteThat last day, those last hours in a faraway place are so precious. I always felt so reluctant to leave a place I loved visiting and just wanted to absorb a bit more to take home with me.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about your trip. xo
I can completely relate to that bitter-sweet scurry around a city..knowing that you have to leave soon. Well it looks like you had a fun time, and bear did too, and we're glad to read that you're back home safely. As always, those laudrée treats look tempting and I think I would have probably waited the 30 minutes for one of those dreamy creations ;)
ReplyDeleteWow that went extremely quickly! I am off to Paris in just under 7 weeks and if you want to know the hours minutes and seconds I can tell you that too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more of your posts. I have missed you and them.

Welcome back to you and Bear! What a lovely last day in Paris - even Paris in the rain is better than still snow on the ground in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a gorgeous trip, Carol. Looking forward to hear more about it!
(P.S. I've been techy while you were gone - check out my new photos and videos!)
Beautiful pics. Do you like Harriet Welty Rochefort's books (French Toast and French Fried)? You can google her. An American married to a Frenchman, and tells about her life. So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI just love following Bear! I would love to see Paris with Bear. Welcome home!
ReplyDeleteKaren
