"Dear" PB readers...HmmmWhat can I say after a night spent tossing and turning with intermittent beatings with a frozen macaron over the head...
You have not been taking notes or studying up on Paris trivia.
All of you recognized Laduree in this mini contest.
It's true I have not done a post exclusively on Madame Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. I've been remiss in this area I admit it :( 
This guy was easy to Google. Even I don't know much about him. This was a reserche question. You did do fine here.BRAVO!
The clue to this question lay within...a simple click would have taken you to a color theory lecon on green and red... 
A few of you got this one...
This hound prancing through the Metro was a give-away question.Reader Susan went so far as to identify the Metro station as St. Paul.. Who knew?
Another give-away question..a pullover or cardigan as belt.Some of you got this - YAY
Many missed this tricky one. Learn your French fashion brands s.v.p.A black leather jacket, rather mannish in style
Neutral colors
Classic tailoring
All give-away clues to this distinctive French brand...
Agnes B.! The label told the story too. 
Too many guessed Sonia Rykiel. Sonia is stripe happy, but in a more whimsical, inventive way than Agnes. There will be more lecons a la mode bien sure! By the way 3 got it. BRAVO!!! 
MANY of you got this!!! YAY
Du 6 mars au 7 mai 2009À l’occasion du 50e anniversaire de la création du Petit Nicolas, la Mairie de Paris lui rend hommage à travers la première exposition jamais consacrée à ce personnage créé en mars 1959 par l’écrivain René Goscinny et le dessinateur Jean-Jacques Sempé.
Petit Nicolas with art by Sempé and writing by René Goscinny.
Here class only one, Parisienne Anne, who got this right. More Paris department store education... PLEASE visit Peter's Paris post on Le Bon Marché!!! 
Le Bon Marché has a decidedly Art Deco look to it, unlike it's Paris sisters, Galerie Lafayette and Printemps which are very much in the Belle Epoche style.
Another give-away question - these are cafe coffee cups. 
Another easy-as-pie picture- framboise macarons.You got it!!! YAY
A classique tabac sign...most of you got this one.
NONE of you got this one and I blame myself. I should have been spent more time on your LA MAISON DU CHOCOLAT education :(
Class, we will be staying after school studying up on eclairs
I am fairly certain that before the macaron was king of Paris, the eclair held that title.
For Your Information, Pierre Herme can be depended upon placing a mini billboard on his desserts announcing his creations. Learn this symbol but watch the calories...
BONJOUR and better luck next time Class.

La Maison du Chocolat is neck and neck at #6 with Lenotre near the top. Please learn this list and eat as many of these as you can. This is a class assignment.

Do you want to do this again?
Should it be way easier?
Do tell PB readers.
