My grandson Davis, can vouch for every candy vendor, at every street market we visited. It's a wonderful thing to have one euro to spend. A lot of bang for your ....euro, but the choices for him took a very, very long time!
Mignon, ton petit-fils, Virginia! You can tell he is picking really carefully too :-) I used to love shopping for candy in France when I was a child. So glad they still have "les confiseries" around town, and those street vendors, so children can keep being children... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
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.

Candy is a very delicate decision!
He certainly had what they call in French l'embarras de choix! (I believe that's something like an embarrassment of riches.) Lucky boy!
How sweet, wonderful & totally charming, Virginia!
He's adorable, V, and a good shopper, too!
Such an adorable child.. Great photo!
I am so enjoying your beautiful photos of Paris, thankyou
He is a savvy shopper and knows what he wants. Wonderful reds throughout.
I feel the same way. So many treats to choose from.
