Lights! Paris! Pastry!


Are you drooling yet?  These bites of bliss were just the beginning of a colorful and flavorful journey through Paris.  Sugar is art in Paris.  Food art at its sweetest!

In the land of amour dessert is enjoyed anytime of the day.  You can imagine my happiness!  Eating chocolate and croissants for breakfast, fruit tarts midway to lunch and then getting serious with tortes, cakes and cream puffs into the evening was pure pleasure in this walking friendly city.  As my beloved and I hiked up Avenue des Champs-Elysees many outdoor cafes lured us in for refreshing lemonade and chocolate eclairs that we couldn't resist.





Pastry shops in Paris bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "window shopping". You spend hours strolling through neighborhoods, peering through every window, checking out each confection, and even taking notes on the ones you simply can't miss tasting.




After a day filled with art, eating and "shopping" my tastebuds needed to lie down and rest.  With midnight snacks stowed away in my backpack we would say goodnight to the City of Lights.




le sucre et l'amour,
Connie
