paris breakfasts: November 2023

Thursday, November 30, 2023

Doing chocolate research 🔬 is one of the easiest things you can do in Paris, especially for the November Paris Letter.

Still I could not discover from Google how many chocolate shops are in Paris! Many ‘10 Bests’ list - oui. How many shops ? - non

I hope you all had a jolly Thanksgiving yesterday, if you’re in the US. Ours is on Saturday.

On Monday, late in the afternoon in the rain, I viewed 252 pieces from the Chanel auction of Mouna Ayoub,the world’s biggest couture buyer.

The Fine Arts Biennale Paris is at Grand Palais Éphémère next to the Eiffel Tower

I went yesterday in the rain to the Presse Preview

Yesterday I went to see Galeries Lafayette Noël windows

And researched them today.

The announcement of LE MEILLEURE TARTE AUX POMME 2023 got me running out the door 🚪 yesterday & down the rabbit 🐇 hole again.

The WINNER IS: CHEZ MEUNIER 🏆 They happen to have a big branch inside Galeries Lafayette le Gourmet, including a cafe at 35, Bd Haussmann.

Another CHOCOLATE SALON! Can you handle it?

The IMPERIAL CHOCOLAT always takes place in November headed by top patissiere & chocolatier Frederic Cassel.

10 years ago I went to the Baltard Feline show in Nougent-sur-Marne, a few stops outside Paris on ligne RER A.

Last Sunday I went again to the Salon du Chat because…I’m a recent cat lover (since Covid)

Is your chandelier in sad disrepair?

Does your salle de bain need freshening up? Mine does. If you visited Salon International du Patrimoine Cultural this past weekend

On Monday Bear 🐻 went to the Salon du Chocolat.

He was bear 🐻 hunting
