Bonjour Paris!

0 comments Posted by pece at 12:46 AM

A quickie post from Paris!!

I overslept!

I can't see straight either - a bit fuzzy here...

And I'm running to the St.-Germain piscine.

Now AirFrance shows you your arrival in Paris from a camera on top of the plane (too much information in my humble opinion) but the ride over on a 380 Airbus was smooth as silk if sleepless...

I reccommend highly taking the Roissey bus into Paris (Opera)...

You'll get acclimated more quickly and you'll catch up on sleep you missed the plane ride over. *Must remember to prep pre-trip next time by sleeping upright in a chair the night before...

First goofy French stuff seen immediately upon exiting the bus at Opera...

The first amazing pastry I bought at Lenotre (spotted when exiting the Ecole Militaire metro). Disasterously ruined by bad packing malheureusement...

First Metro.

Excellent lunch at the Canteen downstairs at Merci...

First Eiffel Tower (seen on a cup on rue Jacob)

A quick whirl around the new FAB Left Bank Hermes (more to come...)

Vitrine at Pierre Herme.

Tomorrow is MACARON DAY!!!

Spring vitrine at Laduree - pink, black and green.

It's always Spring at Au Nom de la Rose on rue Cler....

Patisserier Gerard Mulot is getting ready for Spring - but it's raining here and I left my umbrella at home.

Yellow duckies at Bonton...

Stripes as always at St. James...

Older French Girls wearing RED shoes (as always)

BEAR (who I almost left sitting on the living room couch (eeek) is already bear shopping...

BONJOUR PARIS!

More tomorrow I promise

Other People's Printemps

Printemp Paris Rose Teapot, watercolor at Etsy, 9" x 11"

Some people are madly searching for signs of Spring...

Some people have had to look in other people's backyards since Spring is rather reluctant to show up on the East Coast.

I got this glass teapot in Paris at Les Comptoirs Richard and it makes an awfully nice vase in a pinch don't ya think?

Do you know Manon 21?
Well you should! Even though this is an older photo, Manon does divinely poetic French posts.
SVP do drop in....

Heather lives in Paris and has lots of 'Paris Secrets' to tell.
Including that the daffs are out in the parc! Fancy that. Wonder what the French word for daffodil can be?

Watercolorist Sue of A Brush With Color does the best arrangements and these are from her garden. Who is not jealouse?

So far Vienna is neck-in-neck with NYC hanging back in the race to Printemps, but Merisi of Vienna has found flowers on teacups which is nearly as good, well almost...

Yellow roses of Ireland are featured at Harpist Amy and you can hear her play exquisitely to bouquets of roses. *Not to be missed!

Walzing around the Marais (in the days when I could walz) I discovered Vertige on 11, rue de Sevigne 75004.

They specialize in featuring mainly greens...

Don't miss their galerie of greenie photos - simply lush.

Meanwhile artist Ian Sidaway is out sketching in his allotment - Lucky Ian!

Here's what I'd like to be wearing if is were Spring/Printemps...

And here's what I'd eat whilst wearing the above pink pull - all springie colored macarons.

MIAM!

BONJOUR Other People's SPRING!

Pastry Sketch Crawl Returns!

Yesterday was major. I got my walking papers to venture back into the Big Apple (with a cane but I'm now allowed to climb up the stairs alternate steps instead of one-step-at-a-time!)
