Bear's last day in Paris

BEAR sends you a last bisous/kiss from Paris. It's been such a lovely trip. The weather co-operated perfectly - plein de soleil. BEAR did not ride a Velib - too busy running. BEAR did go to a FAB croissant tasting at Amy's, who didn't know she live in a 'chambre de bonne' once a maid's room. Amy fell in love with all the gorgeous views of Paris.
As one is inclined to do if one lives on the 6th floor up in Paris.
Ah ze croissant tasting.Miam-miam!
BEAR was in 7th heaven on the 6th floor.
Carol was in 7th heaven with all the pate de tartiner spreads (caramel au beurre sale, cocoa-honey, noisette, bla bla bla ) she brought along to put on those croissants. Carol forgot to take serious notes in her ummm state of spread-ecstacy.
Off to meet ex-pat gallerist Grace in Montmartre of galerie Chez Grace.
Grace took BEAR to Cafe des 2 Moulins - Amelie's cafe from the adorable movie on rue Lepic - YUM!
BEAR had quite a full day of eating on Saturday, that ended with a divine home-cooked dinner and delicious cabernet franc from Chateau du Petit Thouars.
MON DIEU
Our Sunday flight was at 7 PM (19:10) so we killed time in W.H.Smith admiring bear stickers.
And jam stickers.
A last later run to the Raspail Bio marche.
For pommes to eat on the plane.
And a gift for our kind hostess, who dreams of eclair seame noir from Sadaharu Aoki
The curtain was coming down on Paris pastries for BEAR- it usually does by 2 pm on Sundays in Paris.
At Charles de Gaulle, BEAR cleverly grabbed a salade verte before boarding. AirFrance meals are not what they once were. A bit of browsing in the dutyfree is a must.
Especially Eiffel Towers...
BEAR as usual, checks out all the bears - Fauchon Bears are awfully appealing.
After a smooth AF flight and lots of zzzzzs,
BEAR bids New York BONJOUR
et BONJOUR PBers!

Kiss Kiss

No wonder the French kiss you two times...
Some insist on kissing you THREE times!
bisous
bisous
bisous

There's certainly a lot of interest in what goes into the bouche/mouth...
Big mouths all over Paris...
In the vitrine at La Grande Epicerie makes perfect sense. Where else would you want to go food shopping if you had any centimes...
I kept seeing big mouths and I don't just mean that figuratively...
Though no one seems to wear much lipstick bien sur...
Eating flowers? Why not, if they're orchids...
Oddly the tiniest mouth in Paris was in Pierre Herme's vitrine/window. This makes no sense at all.
A banana mouth in the Metro - pourquoi pas?
Parisienne illustrator Soledad has a lot to say about the bouche
"Scrounch!"
These generous mouth-sized chocolates are called petite bouchee, Eat just one and that's lunch!
BONJOUR PARIS MOUTHS!

PB turns 4 Today!

Kiss kiss PB readers today!!! You send me the sweetest emails, like the one I got today:

I live in Australia and I’m 16 in 2011. I love art with a passion and I’m painting my own French piece for art class which you’ve inspired me to do. I’ve searched the internet and you’re art work is the best I’ve found! I really enjoy looking through your blog, paintings and photos. They’ve inspired me to go to France in my gap year to be an Ampere and to paint in my spare time. You’ve also inspired me to try a macaron! I’m getting a bit impatient, they look delicious! Anyway, just looking at your pictures brightens my day that little bit more. So, thank you for sharing your paintings and French experiences with me. J
May God bless you,
Philippa

 
So I'm getting out the candles.

U really bring me a lot of love & joy!

Because of you, I've started dolling up (Thank you H&M and Sonia!)

Even though I'm not always comfortable in the spotlight


Even though sometimes I rant on about buttercream etc. Grrrr


Really U put me on top of the world!


Really I can't live without U.


Only Paris is on my menu

And while Bear is having a virtual Perrier at cafe Le Select.


I'm having a virtual walze through the streets of Paris...
BONJOUR PB READERS & A BIG MERCI!
