DIY Madeleines


DIY Madeleine pans, original watercolor, 9" x 11"

I'm gearing up to make my own madeleines. It's about time I moved into the kitchen is it not..?
Sometimes you fall on something much more wonderful than what you were looking for, like I fell on this no-name boulangerie...
Peeking in this window, who could resist going inside?
Did you ever see a more traditional old fashioned bakery? And this is in Paris!
Look at the lace doilies in the straw baskets. I bet in the French countryside there aren't places like this anymore. Are there?
The painted ceiling is DIVINE. And a chandelier too. Was this once a very grande boulangerie?Wall flowers...daisies...

Divine bow-tied croissants. And did you notice the butterflies along the ceiling up above? Are these Belle Epoch style? What's your guess?
Oh and they have macarons naturalment! Hey THIS is PARIS!!! Afterall.
A lovely old painted mirror sign, as fresh as when it was first put up too...
This is what I bought - 3 madeleines and for just 1.10 Euros! Prices from 1890's too!
Here's how to find my no-name boulangerie. It's in the 18th arrondissement on rue Caulaincourt and you take the Metro: Lamark Caulaincourt
If you know of other forgotten but still wonderful old Paris boulangeries PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

BONNE JOURNEE
