Well I have my new book, Paris Rouge finished and look what I missed! Perhaps the sequel is already in the making! The patisserie windows in Paris are a feast for the eyes, don't you agree?
I do agree Virginia, the only thing that is stopping me drooling over your divine picture is the fact that my daughter has been baking this afternoon and I have that to look forward to!!
Ha! I had the same thought as Alexa --- leche vitrines, indeed! I love the way the bold colors of the berry tart stand out among the more neutral colors of the apple tarts. Miam-miam bien sur! Thank you for the tasty post :-)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and 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". 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.

Yes yes yes !!!!
J´adore les fraises! What a mouthwatering cake! I would love to eat a slice RIGHT NOW!
Oh my, yes! This is no doubt how the term "leche-vitrine" came about. Congrats on finishing the book, but clearly time to start working on the sequel!
It's 7:24 am here in EAGAN and I wouldn't mind having one of those with a big cup of coffee for my breakfast!
Our French friend Claude and I walked by a patisserie once in Paris and he said, "Lead me not into temptation...."
ok, I am hungry rsrsrs

Maybe you could make this into a bookmark to use with your book - since I for one don't want to wait until the sequel!
Mais oui! Et pour le palais, aussi!!
