Usually I get a bowl of delicious soupe de poisson 🐟 This time instead I lugged home 3 liter bottles (4€ each). I’m so tempted to run back for more - the best winter fuel.
We each had a hot, cinnamon-spiced cup of apple 🍎 cider from Cidrerie Benoit. Are you salivating yet?
You don’t have to go to Montmartre or Brittany. Maison Georges Larnicol has a big variety of Kouign-Amann in shops throughout Paris! https://larnicol.com/
I’ll always remember going to the Fête de la Coquille years ago…at your insistence! We sampled the kouign amman fresh out of the oven, oysters, scallops, and cidre. Everything was excellent! Smart you taking home jars of soupe de poisson. 😋
Iconic landmarks:) I do love seafood and those escargots in the very large vessel..a thing of beauty.Audrey just gave a talk in Paris..a Tik toker I follow went.She wass over la lune:)
OMG -this fete would have me rolling down the hill because I'd be overstuffed with all those food I love. Maybe I was a Breton in a former life. Miam, Miam.
have not checked in in quite some time....thanks for the catch up ! i have on the california version of Monmartre-rouge beret and black jacket with rouge fleur on lapel...ha ha....glad you are still there and reporting! merci, jacquelyn in Bay Area, CA. !
Totally salivating for Everything!

ReplyDeleteI wish it was every weekend or at least more often. Nothing like fresh seafood! I didn’t show the fish monger - lobster, welks, gorgeous fish.

Oh my, that fish soup is exactly the winter nourishment I love...
ReplyDeleteI add things to it like shrimp or a cod fillet. Anything fishy 🐟 Yum Yum
DeleteOne of my favorite places in Paris/Montmartre! I love Brittany so might have to check this fete if I am ever there in January…
ReplyDeleteIt’s a must-do. There were New Yorkers at our table so word must have gotten out.
DeleteSend me the scallops and no one gets hurt!! NormaJean

DeleteLove your post on the Brittany Fête! You know all the best fêtes, Carol.
ReplyDeleteParis fêtes my area of expertise 👍
DeleteHope you get to go back today and stock up on that fabulous soup.
ReplyDeleteNo I did not. 3 liters is fine for the time being.
DeleteWhen I run out, I’ll hope on a train to St. Malo..that’s all ☺️
