Wake up Parisiens!
Some Parisiens are awake and testing out their winnings dans la rue...
Bear heads for the PH Trocadero. Bear is having a heart attack from all this mad macaron chasing around Paris.
Bear is getting to know the Paris Metro awfully well...hmmm
WTF...
Enfin the 58 avenue Paul Doumer Pierre Herme!
Inside Bear grows impatient as 2 very large boxes of macarons are filled.
In fact 2 Parisiens have won the contest and hit all 6 Pierre Hermes! They are doing a small dance of joie! Bear heads home for lunch, with big plans to continue the contest after eating.
French Girl has made an exquisite salade de Lentille with saumon fume. Bear immediately launches into his adventures pursuing the PH macarons.
Bear has to backtrack to the first 2 destinations and get the stamps on his mac card. Then he heads to FINAL Pierre Herme desitination, Galeries Lafayette. It's about 4 pm and the line is longish. Bear is humming gayly to himself.
Doodly-doodly-do...
Some mac lovers are napping on line exhausted from waiting, but Bear stays fully wide-awake and praying the macs will not be finished by the time he gets to the counter...
French Girl reminds Bear that this is The American Way, to sit down to a meal and talk business, business, business.
The French Way is to talk cuisine, cuisine, cuisine.
Oh...Bear shuts his trap.
Doodly-doodly-do...
mon dieu!
Bear wins!
Bear goes for 1 of each of 25 flavors + whatever.
Bear can not believe his good fortune!!!
Bear's FAB dance card with all of the stamps from each
Bear can not believe his good fortune!!!
Very lovely non?
What's even more lovely is Pierre Herme's amazing generosity on this day. Not only is a charity remembered and given it's due, but the people of Paris get a chance to taste these fantastic cookies. There are many kids on line, who normally would not be able to buy such a deluxe dessert but Jour du Macaron is their chance to partake and enjoy.
BONJOUR PIERRE HERME et BIG MERCI!!!
