Special Fall chocolate leaf creation at Lenotre.
Paris is well into full blown Fall.
Paris is well into full blown Fall.
There are even kids books dedicated to Automne.
Full of falling leaves
Full of falling leaves
And the famous French champignons
Fall timbres full of feuilles et champignon ensemble.
Of course the fragrant chestnuts in the street.
Cojean has special autumn dishes like crumble - oui it was delish.
Fauchon has their Fall game specialties.
Which reminded me of these master drawings.

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!

ReplyDeleteI love your photos!
ReplyDeleteThe 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......:)
Ah la feuille d'Automne de chez Lenotre! Je la connais PAR COEUR! Mon gateau preferé de chez eux....
ReplyDeleteCarol - 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?

I love the Mom in a skirt and high heels with three kids in tow off to the park! Only in Paris!
ReplyDeleteMerci Sweet Paris!
ReplyDeleteI never thought to actually taste Lenotre's chocolate feuille...
Will do and report back.
It's dangerously close to my place too

It looks like you had a fun visit in Paris. Off to London now, lucky girl? Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

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
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and yet a bit sad review ! Fall turns me melancholic...
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Mandarin Oriental ? Did you like if ? I actually have never been there.
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!!
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the last leg of your trip!
Oh your off to London already. Well enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteMerci for your wonderful posts (as always!)---we are leaving for France/Paris next week and
ReplyDeletePB once again, and ever so artfully, reminds us of what we love about Paris !
We cannot wait to get ourselves there!
Best of luck to you and dear Bear on your adventures and travels!
Yours,
Patricia
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.
ReplyDeleteStamps+chestnuts+quiche+jardin? very enticing! mmm!
ReplyDeleteRich, glorious, golden automne!! Tarte au citron, quiche, falling chestnut leaves, that crisp air.........can't wait!
