A day late for Valentines
And Valentine 💘 chocolates 🍫
From JEAN-PAUL HÉVIN,
Are nice any day.
On Wednesday afternoon
Window gazing in Chocolaterie CHAPON,
Nearby, the divine CHOCOLATIER FOUCHER,#134
Offering hearts ❤️
AND flowers 💐
Next door at #130 Rue du Bac, BOOKBINDERS DESIGN, Valentines 💘 cards.
Ooops, I missed JACQUES GENIN ❤️ at #27 rue Vaneau
I don’t know what was inside his mystery heart ♥️ in the window, but it has to be exceptional 👌
Zero, nada, rien de toute.
All respectable Valentine 💝 endeavors 👍
♥️♥️♥️
If you can’t find any red jelly hearts 💕
Love your blog. Enjoying my ballerina drawings in my bedtoom

DeleteLove your beautiful floral sketches, Carol. I love rue du Bac's shops and it has changed a bit recently, hasn't it? including no more photos at Hevin... I guess they no longer want any more of our free promotion while we pay, lol. Cheers with your lovely hot chocolate! Jillx
ReplyDeleteI don’t know Jill. I was shooting 📸 in the windows only. I will ask inside next time. 🤔 That would be a step backwards imo.
DeleteWonderful sweet research…thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun to Paris window shop Dee Ann! ♥️
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day. I loved your bla bla bla. Can't we just savor in peace?
ReplyDeleteRue du Bac is SO fabulous and guaranteed to be an all out calorie bomb! But who’s counting when everything is so scrumptious?! Thank you for taking us along on your Wednesday adventure. L❤️VE your watercolors.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine’s Day! 😘from🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteThanks for a lovely post and all the information!!
ReplyDeleteValentine heaven on Rue du Bac. My husband and I were lucky enough to live just a block away for a time. We could barely afford a chocolate or anything else on rue du Bac, but the lèche vitrine was to die for.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness browsing is free ❤️ a luxury chocolate street for sure. Plenty of vicarious thrills 💋
DeletePerhaps there were no red candies (jelly hearts, etc.) because Europe has forbade companies from using Red Dye #4 for health reasons. I am all for it, but I always got into the Valentine spirit with red jelly heart (mmm). Oh, well. Health is important and I do want to live longer!
ReplyDeleteRed dye #4! Very good point 💕 childish memories of very healthy foods…🤔
DeleteLoved the chocolate tour of Paris! Our local farmers market in San Diego has wonderful homemade chocolates to sample and we love their vegan dark chocolate covered halvah! But I’m sure your hot chocolate in Paris was more heart warming.
ReplyDeleteLove looking at the beautiful chocolates while I'm stuck with a Hershey's kiss. Happy Valentine's Day to you and Bear.
ReplyDeleteHershey kisses 💋 They don’t have anything like that here…🥰 the silver paper…nice.
DeleteThe raspberry tart looks delicious along with the chocolates.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t watched this adaptation of Wuthering Heights but like the book and the Brontë sisters.
Will you see the new WH movie? I’m hoping too, the comments under the trailer on YouTube are very entertaining! I agree the book is not a love story though.
No, absolutely not. I watched enough reviews to know it is not for me. Not happy with the casting, though I hear the costumes are sumptuous. I’m not a fan of the director. But it might be better for you, being Australian Kirra. I recommend watching the 1939 version first for the sake of comparison.
DeleteWhat a delightful post. The flowers and chocolates are beautiful. I also have a love of red jelly hearts. I appreciated the link to the documentary on Emily Bronte. I visited Haworth many years ago to see the Bronte Museum and to walk the Yorkshire moors. I have always loved Wuthering Heights and the 1939 film is wonderful. I have seen many film versions of the book including the recent one. I went in knowing it was very loosely based on the book. It is my least favorite of all the Wuthering Heights films. -Suzanne P.
ReplyDeleteLucky you Suzanne to visit the Brontë Museum, Haworth and walk 🚶♂️the Yorkshire Moors. A real Brontë dévote ❤️

Thank you Carol for the link to the walking tour of Haworth as it was interesting to hear about the history of the town. It brought back fond memories for me. -Suzanne P.
