Place St. Sulpice, 9" x 12"
I've heard it said that after you get your goodies...
At Pierre Hermé on 72, rue Bonaparte...
You can take them over to a park bench at Place St Sulpice...
And devour them in plain sight and no one will much mind one way of the other...
I've also heard you can take your PH goodies up to the second floor at Cafe de la Mairie (where Catherine Deneuve takes her petit dejeuner daily...or so they say), but I've never dared try. Have you..?
If you do sit down on that park bench at Place St. Sulpice you'll be facing a very attractive monument- the Fontaine de Quatre-Eveques build by Ludovico Viscounti in 1847 from The Monuments of Paris: an illustrated guide by Michel Poisson.
After gazing at this fontaine more times than I can count I've come on the idea that just maybe the master pastry chief himself might sit here too...
Don't you think what he calls the Saint-Honoré Satine may be a not too distant cousin of...
This fontaine?
What do you think?
Am I off my rocker comme habitude (as usual) or do you see the strong resemblance too? Should not this gorgeous dessert have it's name changed peut-etre to Saint-Place Sulpice Satine..?
And might it not deserve a spot on this P. Hermé box of not-to-be-missed monuments - Les Incontournables de Paris?
I can find all sorts of ways to waste time...
Though I'd much rather be walking this dog at Place St. Sulpice...
Or about to dive into this heavenly tarte citron of Hermés sitting on this Paris park bench.
