Paris Leaf Greens

Yesterday it was green, green, green in Paris.
Does anyone know anything about 'green' almonds?
What do you do with them?
This picture was shot a few Sundays ago when it was drizzling. Little green squares that pop up out of nowhere in Paris.
 
Macarons of green apple, mint, cucumber and Rocquette. Next time I'll taste instead of shoot.
Yesterday at the Tour Eiffel. I got off #42 bus several times to shoot the greens.
 
Love how Sadaharu Aoki plays with the color green.
 
Another bus detour for the wall garden by Patrick Blanc near musee Branly - these are evergreen - year-round green.
Boissier green tins look like they were created in the 1890's.
 
Poubelle green is not the same word as pourboire, easy to mix up.
 
Latest Les Jardins has real green turf in it - you pay extra for this.
 
Green silk jacquard fabric on the walls of Chateau Fontainebleau.
 
I never noticed the patisserie across the street from me is forrest green. Le Figaro gave them 2nd place for their chocolate religieuse. I almost never go in but suddenly lines out the door. I was not bowled over I have to say but then the religieuse sat on my table waiting to be painted for days - a no-no with French pastry which basically has a shelf life of about 24 hours.
 
In Printemps I fell in love with this vendeuse's little grass green bows going down her back.
Today I'm off to see the Bayeux tapestries in Base-Normandie. I will eat every local specialty except les tripes, les moutons de mer, and espace d'andouilles.
No way will I miss out on le caramel d'Isigny!
