Yes, I'm smiling, V! You (and whoever dressed this vitrine) make these cheeses irresistible. Don't know if I can face the low-fat, high-fiber breakfast now. :~}
Years ago there was a study about cheese...American cheese vs French...they studied the droppings of rats (I think it was rats) after eating cheeses from the different countries....the results indicated that the cheeses from France were well digested, while the American cheeses, with all the pasteurizing, where not...
I knew there was a reason I liked the cheese in France so much!!!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Lovely, lovely. I am standing on an intersection on Rue Mouffetard today. A street like no other ...
What a great shop!
The lighting in this photo is so beautifully soft. The creamy colors are a perfect blend with the cheese.
Baguettes on Monday now that we have le vin et les fromages? I wish we were there with Julie!
Bon Anniversaire!!!
Miam-miam -- Love the golds and greens in the transparent bins.
Looks scrumptious, V! And a fine way to keep pastries in balance.

Man, that looks so good. Almost as good as the wine yesterday ;-).
