SPRING! is really here in Paris fullblown.
The cafes are loaded.
Some cafes are racing to catch up fast!
French Girl says a big sign of Spring - all the striped mariniers shirts seen everywhere...
Even on running Patugas shoes/baskets!
Bear is conveniently dressed in Spring stripes year round.
Bikers are out. Bike/Velib stations are completely empty.
Bear imagines he's Easy Rider on someone else's bike parked on rue de Rivoli... 
French shoppers are out, shopping like crazy.
Spring asperges with Peter's Paris at Casa Olympe is de rigueuer at 48 Rue Saint-Georges, 75009...tres deliceux
We stroll around the 9th - a perfect Spring day. Peter knows Paris like the back of his hand. He shows me a hidden, private allee, where Renoir used to live.
I show him L'Etoil D'or, 30 rue Fontaine - the best candy store in all world.
Peter is so thrilled he buys up the place!
Spring chocolate fish and chickens abound...
Denise Acabo, the propriator, could not be more delighted.
Or delightful. Denise is the cutest confisiere in all of Paris. She is a Paris' incontournables/monument to fine French regional chocolates.
Bear is leaving Paris this afternoon.
He's going to miss all the FAB monuments...
He insists on one last stupid tourist shot at the Concorde Metro station, but none of these letters spell out B E A R.

Bear's going to miss getting lost in the Metro, like on Jour Du Macarons last Saturday.

BONJOUR PARIS SPRING!!!
