I decided I was not going to do a tarte au citron 🍋 map 🗺 It entailed too much citron tarte eating.
Then I found this old pastry doodle. I love drawing ✏️ round shapes.
And down the rabbit hole I went 😳 A border of pastry boxes instead of lemons 🍋 as originally planned, seemed appropriate since there are plenty of boxes floating around here at the moment. Hmmm…
I managed to catch the yellow La Poste truck Saturday just in time to get them off to you. The rest went out today 💌📮🌻
Did you know ‘Bee 🐝 Yellow’ is a big color for 2021? It will make us feel jolly, even though in the past it was used for quarantine and is still used for ‘Danger’ signs in the Metro.
Naturally I kept seeing it 🐝 everywhere immediately…along with eating too much of it.
Especially in the Marais. Have you noticed a lot of 🐝 yellow where you are?
Sunday I stalked this family with a Bee Yellow baby carriage. It even has an attached umbrella 🌂!
I easily got talked into buying a yellow sunflower in the Marais.
They are not easy to paint…at least so far.
Can you believe the Champs-Elysées theatre group dipped a tulip into Bee yellow for their metro poster. Me neither. Crazy no?
This morning I popped into my favorite all-time bee yellow madeleine shop, Mado à Paris, at 252 rue de Rivoli. They now have citron 🍋 meringues. They‘ve always had very yummy citron 🍋 confit madeleines. I met the owner, who was in from Cannes. She said ‘Mado’ was her auntie and they use only her recipes. *Definitely stop in for tea when you come back to Paris. And if you’re missing tarte au citron🍋 you know where you can get it. I hope you had a Happy mellow yellow 4th of July US PBers🎉🐝🐻☺️🍋
This yellow bee colour looks great, not sure there’s much here but I do have a yellow raincoat that I enjoy wearing in cooler months. Your tarte citron map is awesome. Enjoy!
Yes! I’m definitely in the love-everything-lemon camp. Lemon desserts deserve their own map! And…if edibles are not available, the color yellow is almost enough to make me forget. Love your map, Carol. Envy your research. Mado à Paris is on my must visit list!
I look forward to the next letter and hope it the citroen cakes that showed up in your email post today. It looks amazing and citroen tarts are simply my favourite.
J'en profite pour vous remercier chaleureusement pour votre délicieux bulletin, auquel je suis abonnée depuis plusieurs années. Étant parisienne d'origine mais " expat " au Canada depuis longtemps, je savoure vos écrits, vos photos... et votre humour avec un immense plaisir. Oserais-je vous dire, cependant, que votre passion pour les pâtisseries m'inquiète un peu, pour votre cholestérol?
What is cholesterol Marie-Noël? I dont like to think about those things. And in France its considered healthy. Plus I counter-balance it with lots of fruit and veg…plus…swimming?
I think your post oozes the delight of enjoying a tarte au citron🍋. Love the map, I can carry it with me and know precisely where to head for my tarte fix! My front door is yellow. Warm and inviting. Might there be a lemony surprise waiting inside😋?
Love the citron map, can't get too much lemon ever. Thank you for doing the map - I love it.
