Bear spent Sunday in recovery from Saturday's mad-marathon Jour Du Macarons. But now it is time to step out on the town again in search of a sharp knife to cut and dissect all those macarons he won. The absolute best place to go, where all top Parisien chefs go, is of course Dehillerin (pronounced"Day-ler-ran")
Bear drools over the essential Kitchen Aide if he is ever going to make macarons on his own...Miam...miam
Inside Dehillerin it's an Aladdin's cave of copper treasures. Bear politely asks if they have a very sharp knife to cut through fragile macarons. They show him a serrated steak knife! Non, I want one of those German chef knives like Wursthof svp. We do not carry German knives they say. Oh...We do have Sabatier. That will do nicely :)
Nearby Bear spies old charmant bistro, L'Epi D'or on 25 Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau 75001.
Christian Louboutin frequents this joint! Bear would love to drop in for cote d'ageau etc.
But Carolg, who is fearless in a pastry shop, is a total wimp when it comes to bistros and cafes :(
Louboutin's FAB shoe shop is practically nextdoor-no wonder!
Whilst Carolg browses the deluxe pricey LB shoes...
Bear chats up Louboutin's bear in the passage."Bonjour M. ours"
Together they happily browse patisserie Au Delice de Manon on rue St. Honore.
Browsing the terribly chic Frenchies, Bear thinks he sees MARC JACOBS!
Gold earring - check
Burburry scarf - check
5 O'clock shadow - check
Looking a tad rough about the edges - check
Baggy jeans? A non, non
What do YOU think?
Is that you Marc?
Carolg wants to take a bite out of the Boucheron macaron rings which go for many thousands of $$$. A girl can dream can't she?
Meanwhile everyone and their mother is sunning themselves on any spare chair at any cafe available. SPRING has finally arrived in Paris!
At 4 pm Carolg & Bear go to Toraya tea salon at 10, Rue St-Florentin, 75001
To meetup with fellow bloggeurs, Rebecca of Fleur de Paris and D'arcy of Chicsetera. Both live in Paris FULL TIME! They talk blogger talk a mile a minute...
The wheels are turning crazily inside Bear's head. He's furiously taking mental notes.
Just maybe he will start HIS OWN BLOG. Hello?
Later as night falls they meet French Girl and shoot the Paris vitrines/windows...
Paris at night! Does it get any better than this?
Especially Hediard's vitrine full of Easter chocolates.
It's a coup de foudre/instant love for bear...sigh
More Paris night at Opera Garnier...more sighs
At home the very sharp Sabatier knife does the job and cuts cleanly through the Pierre Herme macaron. BRAVO! The perfect end to a perfect day.BONJOUR DEHILLERAN!!
