My kingdom for those Fauchon jars of rabbit. Not just one flavor but TWO!!!! I need them for my garden - instead of a scarecrow! Only in France do they understand the true place of les lapins!
I love your photos! The shot of the jogger neck-and-neck with the baby stroller is great! And the shot of Bear in Cafe de Flor is so cute. It took guts to pose Bear & snap away with the audience watching you :) Crazy American......:)
Carol - this post makes me very excited about going to Paris in 2 weeks for the first time in several years. Just for a day (I'm based in Brussels), sadly. Lots of inspiration from your posts as to where I should visit. Any particular recommendations?
Merci Sweet Paris! I never thought to actually taste Lenotre's chocolate feuille... Will do and report back. It's dangerously close to my place too miam miam
Oh my Carol! that just thrills my heart to see Bear at Cafe de Flore! right in the thick of it and I'm sure enjoying every moment with panache!! Those little tarte au citrons made my mouth water. Keep safe xx
Guess you will have to boat on the Thammes? I just realized you yesterday mentioned missing the boat! Will you be seeking the best Lemon tarts in London too? Loved the illustrations in the children's book as well as the animal sketches. The food looked perfect for the season. Enjoy the last leg of your trip!
I was in Paris in October one year, heart-sick, disillusioned, but loving being there. I'd get as close as I could to the chestnut roasters so I could smell the wonderful scene but not have an allergic nut-attack.
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on ĂŽle Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
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…

That chocolate leaf creation looks divine! Way too beautiful to eat. But if I were in it's presence, I would take a nibble.
ReplyDeleteL just love the word "individuelle" on a cake.... Means it is meant for only ME. As usual so yummy!!!!!!The quiche at CDF looks great too! Maryanne xo
