Dear V. I've booked my ticket and am on my way. I need a sugar fix and that shop will do the trick. What is that on the back shelf? Looks like a gigantic olive. Surely not. Bon Vivant J.
I would much rather have a shop that has little things, buying an assortment of what looks good (which would be everything in the photo) and having them be large size would just not let me eat it all.
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.

No, dear V, you don't. You can be a woman of few words today. What a vision of loveliness.
Let them eat cake!
Just let us watch and enjoy! Yum!
Miam miam! A feast for the palate and the eyes!

I think the object that looks like a giant olive is really cocoa pod.
A picture is truly worth a thousand words.
Dianne took the words right out of my fingers!
There should be a sticker on the window that says "en cas de nécessité briser la vitre"
Enough said! Yum :-)
I need a macaron!
Your photo says it all!
Nope! :) A wonderful photo says a thousand words or more. Love!
nice pictures. look delicious...
No need to say more. It looks extraordinary. I haven't been to Gerard Mulot- yet. I'm planning to fix that terrible error later in the year.
It would be difficult to me to choose only one... :)
