Le dessert

You can't walk a block in Paris without being tempted.

Les meringues

Aux Merveilleux de Fred, heavenly meringues and brioche is a most charming shop. This night, just two nights after the terrorists attacks in Paris, Parisians were lined up out the door to purchase these delights. I had hoped to get inside for more photos, but had to be satisfied with pressing my lens against the windows.

Supersize My Macaron!

Yes, even in Paris, you can supersize even this normally petit confection.  These macarons were almost as large as our southern Moon Pie!

Les tours de l'amour

and artfully arranged......bien sûr !

Sweet Treat

I have a very good reason for sharing this not so great photograph of this patisserie window with you today. Last week I received a lovely email from Susan Hochbaum, a new follower of this blog. Susan is not only a lover of Paris, and Paris pastries, she is also a talented photographer and one creative lady! She was kind enough to send along the link to a little movie she's made. You will thank me for this one! She will return to Paris in April for more photographs as she has signed a book deal. Susan, let us all know when your book comes out. I think we will ALL want one!
