Easter Bunnies in Paris

Fun bunnies admiring the blossoming trees at Chocolatier Christian Constant on rue des Ecole.

Find the bunny in patisserie Bac Sucre window in the 12 arrondissement.

Inside a rare variety of ‘Bugs Bunny’ rabbits in an unusual standing pose. Who could resist? PS there are many links here to past Paris Easters. Just click!

And next door at toy store  LuLu & Cie, a set of automated, imported (from China) in the shop window calling out “Take us home svp” So I did. 

Our new happy family 🐰  🐰 🐰  Bear 🐻 is not speaking to me...

Speaking of bunnies in the house, PBer Nan sent me a jolly shot of her 2 new daffodil watercolors. I looked at her Instagram and found many bunnies in her house. Count how many. Go slow. Its deceptive.

I was very taken with these little chick cupcakes at Chez Botaga. For someone who remembers absolutely nothing (not kidding) these reminded me of my pet chicks at day camp when I was 6, named with great originality: ‘Pick’ and ‘Peck’. I do remember clearly my parents would not let me bring them home 🐥 Some things you never get over... 

I went into the toy shop of course looking for an automated rouge gorge/robin. This is proving challenging, even in a town with many, many toy shops, but I am not giving up. 

My parents used to frequently say,”Carol, when are you going to grow up?” Not any time soon 😃 I hope.

Just because I’ve told you all these glorious and rather pricy chocolate Easter rabbits,  chickens and eggs are filled with tiny chocolate fish/friture doesn’t mean you believe me. I didn’t believe it either when I first came here. It implies an element of not so friendly destruction is essential.

But here it is. New rabbit is no more. A view of the inside is necessary. The two halves of the chocolate molds/moulage are held together with big jazzy ribbon bows. Simply untie et voila. More chocolate to eat as if it wasn’t enough already. In France, if someone calls you a ‘gourmande’ it means ‘greedy’ but in a good way. It means you like good things. There are many ways to practice this skill here. Right now I’m greedy to paint the new irises in town. There is always something to be ‘greedy’ about in Paris.
