Le Pain de Paris

While we're all stuffing ourselves with turkey, dressing etc. here in the U.S., Parisians are queuing up to buy warm baguettes, which for me is a wonderful substitute.  I've been gone for less than a week, and just looking at this photograph makes my mouth water.

This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for all of you that stop by this blog and read/comment. It brings me great pleasure to share my photographs of Paris with you.  I hope you will come back often for new photos from this last trip!

City Daily Photo Theme Day - The Creative Artisan

Thankfully bread making is not a lost art in France!  This baker in the small town of Thorigny sur Oreuse, was loading up his van with warm fresh baguettes.

Faire la Queue...Pourquoi?

Parisians are willing to stand quietly in long lines outside of boulangeries at any time of day. Pourquoi you ask? For the best baguettes etc. on the planet.  I've done it myself and was happy to spend the time in order to be handed a buttery pain au chocolat or a warm baguette. C'est magnifique!!

Paris Rouge XXVII- Rouge ou Blanc?

Well this pretty much says it all. The start of a good meal, shared with my friend Mary, yesterday's birthday girl!

Pain + Fromage = Paris!

At the request of my friend Dusty Lens, a little French bread and cheese today. 

Bon appetit!

Mais oui, another smiling Frenchman! How I did I get so lucky?  

"Dire du fromage !"

 Say cheese!
