Circus Baobab, Crepe à l’œuf, Fete du Pain

 

Yesterday, after the pool 🏊 I thought I’d pop into Centre Pompidou, 

 

Nearby I heard a tremendous roar. I ran🏃‍♂️ to see what the excitement was about & forgot the museum 😂 I did NOT get any good pictures 😵‍💫

A bunch of 13 acrobat performers encircled by an excited crowd of passerbys near the Fontaine St Phalle. 13 street children trained in the performing arts by the best African and French professionals, 13 artists aged 18 to 30. (Picture taken later)

I was starving as usual after the pool and on impulse decided to get a crepe from the venders around Pompidou 

I ordered the simplest crepe, something you won’t see in nicer Brittany restaurants in Montparnasse - Crepe Salée à l’œuf. 

I asked for it to be ‘bien cuit’/well cooked.

The cook breaks an egg on the crepe

Spreads it very thinly using a palette-knife tool

Adds sel et poivre

Folds it over, giving a couple of taps to make it bien cuit

Et Voilà a quickie, delicious, possibly healthy snack and no sugar!

This morning I tried this for breakfast 🍳 but using a Sarrasin/ buckwheat crepe.

So easy & Yummy 👍 🤸🏾‍♀️

I added grated Parmigiana + Persillade. You could add ham or anything else your heart ❤️ desires. Filling and healthy.

I was on my way to the annual May Fete du Pain at Notre Dame, passing through Hotel de Ville. The acrobats were setting up to perform again! 🤸🏾‍♀️ 👏👏👏

Circus Baobab - a collective of circus artists  created in 1998 in Conakry, Guinea in West Africa. 

Their show is a dynamic mix traditional African dance 

Plus street dancing and Hip hop

This group is tremendous. They competed in the annual 4-day 42nd Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain. I am definitely not missing this next year. WATCH & be amazed.

Krumping with circus clown art is a part of their act. They perform free to the public in various sites around town. Krumping evolved into a popular Street Dance in South Central, LA. Isolating body parts so one body part is rigid, while the other is Swinging, Stomping, or Popping. 

Circus Baobab is doing evening performances at La Scala through June 10 and I am going.

Finally I got to Fete du Pain 😂 🥖 

If you want to buy a baguette 🥖 fresh out of the oven the Fete du Pain is the place to be

It’s on through Sunday. 

Many MOF chefs (with the blue, white, red collars) are onboard for baking demonstrations

The rest of toute Paris was lined up patiently at Berthillon 

You’ll need the Paris Map 🗺️ for a weekend ice cream cornet 🍦 

            🤸🏾‍♀️  Have a Great Joyous Weekend PBers  👍 

                                               🤸🏾‍♀️And get up and Krump 🤸🏾‍♀️
