While in Thorigny sur Oreuse, Fr, I was photographing the old rusty gate below and decided to see what was on the other side. Voilá ! The baker from the boulangerie next door came out with these scrumptiuos baguettes and loaded them in his van. I should have grabbed one! The gate was pretty wonderful as well, oui?

Paris je t'aime
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". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's 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, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. 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.

Un morceau de baguette encore chaude au petit déjeuner, c'est bien meilleur qu'un macaron...! Don't you agree, Virginia?
Je suis d'accord avec Alice... much as I love macarons, for breakfast I'd have to take a warm, crusty baguette straight from the oven, with lashings of butter and {wait for it - sorry} yes, Vegemite! I had the funniest vision in my head of you pinching a baguette and running off giggling, Virginia. What a surprised baker that would have been!!
Mmmmmmm... I can just smell that bread. I'm with Shell & Alice, only I want cream cheese and strawberry jam on mine.
I'll admit that I didn't see the lovely rusted gate in the first photo as I was immediately drawn to those gorgeous baguettes! Also the guy's smile made me smile. I'll also have my baguette warm right out of the oven, but I'll just have it plain (which makes it easier to justify eating the whole thing).
Alice, Oui avec beurre, maid j'adore les macrons avec café aussi! How's that???:)
Katie, I can almost taste them just looking at the photo.
Style, never had it with jam. Sounds wonderful.
Shell,
Just say no to Vegemite!!
Talk about bringing the rolls ... that gate is just fabulous ..
mmmmmm....toasted baguette with butter and Bonne Maman 'Mirabelles' Preserves....
Alice, typo, I meant MAIS. WHY do I try to blog/type without my glasses on???
ET Suzy,
Oui, love Bonne Maman anything!
Daryl,
He was so cheerful I probably could have sweet talked him out of one but unfortunately I can't sweet talk en français. I need to work on that !!!! :)
If only we could find bread that good here. There are two authentic French boulangeries in Fort LaDeDa, but the it isn't the same.
CHOMP!
Both great finds, and yes, you should have grabbed one!
