Paris Basque 2016

They said wear red and black to the PARIS BASQUE 2016 event. My latest acquisition fillled the bill.

What the Real Basquese were wearing was more correct.

As someone wwho Loves RED with a capitol R, you would think I would have more of it in my wardrobe than I do. I'm in the 'add a touch of red' school both in watercolor and dress.

The king of top Basque chefs was onboard.

Here caught passing the baton/whip to an underling.

Unfortunately I arrived late afternoon and all the lunch specialties were gone to be served again at 8 o'clock same evening. Hmmm...most Paris fetes never stop serving throughout the day. I should have arrived earlier.

There were ample sweets available like Maison Pariès out of this world caramel Kanougas. They now have a shop in Paris. 9 bis, rue Saint Placide.

Cherry gateaux Basque also from Pariès.

The all-boy Basque band was terrific. The Russkies in Metro Concorde have been replacd in my heart.

Brilliantly colored sud-ouest awning stripes from Bayadera.

Ice cream!

Pariès has excellent glacé.

And they had Two chariots de glacé!!

On the way to Paris Basque I caught thiswitty chariot de crepes near Notre Dame.

I 'collect' chariots btw. At Le Petit Duc, new/old traditional  biscuit shop under le canopée at Les Halles you can get Berthillon ice cream.

That's why June's Paris map is full of chariots..

More RED from singing soccer fans on the Metro Sunday.
There is no escaping them.
