Collecting Paris Ducks

 Collecting ducks in Paris...
 Doesn't cost a euro...
 Unless you're into foie gras...ahem
 No ducks in fromagerie Barthelemy's vitrine, just cheese and chickens...
 Easter time brings out a gaggle of geese in Paris bien sur...
 You can find canard a foie gras anytime but especially at New Years...
 I wonder who makes all these darling ducks..?
 A duckling nightlight would be fun...
 Real farm ducks (and goats) come to Montmartre Sundays for the kids. Not in New York...

    I would have never guessed ducks in Paris. That man in the yellow pants just doesn't make a very good looking duck! :) I went and put a vote in for you.

    Not to mention the "Canard Exquis" promotion time http://www.ideemag.com/agenda/canard-exquis-canard-foie-gras-du-sud-ouest.html

    The event at the Shangrila was amazing with tremendous delicious recipes with duck :)

    When I used to shoot at the James Beard House there was foie gras on the menu EVERY night
    so I prefer ceramic ducks now..

    I dearly LOVE foie gras but have given it up since learning how it is created. Sigh. Now Foie Lapin might be a horse of a different color.

    You captured my frommage loving Tibbies & Barthelmy perfectly! You are the best, Carol!
    I want that duckie nitelite for the barn too. Hope to add the real ones to the farm this spring. Loved the goats & ducks at Montmartre, but I wouldn't wear those yellow waders, altho I do have red overalls.
    Foie Gras,yum! will have to make do with the faux kind tho.
