Merci Marie for translating daffodils into jonquilsyesterday...
Sue's daffodils inspired me to run out and buy some to paint...
Cris in Oregonhas daffodils growing in her own garden, even if they are facing away from her window - naughty daffs. If I was in Paris now I'd be wearing this jonquil jaune/yellow cardigan I would...David Lebovitz is smitten withjonquilleyellow bergamots. I've never had one, have you?All Paris adores yellow disks, especiallytheir famous tarte au citron...More yellow disks, this time at L'Epicerie...
Here's a yellow-obsessed French woman about to fall into a case of tarte au citrons at patisserie Gerard Mulot. Oh to be in her shoes...
In Paris it's nothing to cook your dinner in a miniature jonquil yellow cocotte. If you can't make your own do stop in at Les Cocottes, 135, rue St.Dominique 75007
Or eat under a yellow awning at 17 Avenue de la Motte Picquet.

Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
