The posh 16th arrondissement is loaded with posh patisseries...
And I've barely set foot in them.
This is pretty tragique - I must make up for this lapse next trip ...
I just happened to walze by Yamazaki Paris enroute to the Musee Marmottan last October on 6 Chaussée Muette 75016 Metro: La Muette
As usual I ran in, stole some shots and ran out safely without tasting a thing. 
Unlike the trecherous Financier Pastries now lining the shelves of my refrigerator. We won't discuss my hips...ahem 
I have much more resistance when in Paris - there's such a wealth of choices. 
You know on the next block or so you'll find something almost as irresistable. Pastry procrastination is easy in Paris. 
New York is not so full of temptation... 
C'est la vie...
I do promise to go inside and EAT something next time!BONJOUR Yamazaki Paris!

Sometimes a Parisien pastry looks like jewelry...
And sometimes a Parisien bracelet looks like pastry...
Sometimes a Parisien pastry looks like a work of art (more often than not)
And sometimes a Parisien artwork of food looks like I don't know what...
Sometimes looking at boxes of macarons makes you want to take out your paintbox...
And then you pray.
Sometimes a box of Parisien fraises/strawberries...
Looks just like a berry red pousette/baby stroller...
Or like a Parisien pup in a berry red coat...
There's no question...
That Parisiens...
Get their 3 - 5 (RED) fruits a day...But are they getting them all in pastries is the question.
And does it matter?
BONJOUR PARISIEN PASTRIES!!

The French seem to have an almost insane addiction to the color RED (Calling Dr. Gabriel Byrne SVP!) They refuse to leave the house without some smidge of red showing. They eat their meat raw/a point. There are endless examples I could pull up to prove my theorie. To boot they insist on eating RED desserts year round. To hell with Locavores!
Where French pastry chefs come up with this endless supply of fraise et framboise is beyond me other than a jam jar...
But come up with it they must or their goose is cooked.
There can be no doubt about this since you see it every patisserie vitrine.
Add to that their addiction to quatre fruits rouges.
Right! It isn't enough to have ONE red fruit in your dessert.
Well RED being such a Christmasy color I thought I'd show you some RED Paris petit fours...
Gerard Mulot has a thing with RED desserts that cannot be denied...
One red fruit dessert I cannot live without is Paille Framboise. Two glossy layers of a palmier-like cookie 'sandwich' a thick layer of raspberry jam. Then topped off with tell-tale confectionary sugar that makes you look like you were just out in the snow or else eating a paille framboise. This thing is impossible to eat discretely.
It's a fairly traditional pastry so you'll have to look in at your 'local' corner patissierie to find it. I've yet to see it in the fancier Paris joints.
Really you can't go wrong at Boulangerie Rollot. They've won all kinds of prizes and competed with la creme de la creme at the concours Meilleure Patissierie de France - no mean accomplishment indeed. And it's awfully nice to be served your snowy paille by the pastry chef's wife...

Right! It isn't enough to have ONE red fruit in your dessert.You must have FOUR! (cerises, groseilles, framboises et fraises)
I admit to being fond of confiture de quatre fruits rouges (merci Bonne Maman)

Do you have a favorite RED dessert in Paris?

BONJOUR NEIGE AUX FRAMBOISES!
PS Neige aux framboises is a dessert but since there's snow on the ground in Paris I thought I'd take a few liberties...

I was completely wrong when I told you the tendance was PINK in Paris! non non non! It's FRAMBOISE or frahm-bwahz to you...
Printemps has a pop-up store to prove it.
Nothing but framboise. Rien de toute!
These shoes are missing red berries in my opinion...
Big framboise bear...
Framboise dog...
They had these funny framboise pins but I dithered. When I came back they were all gone :(
I did not dither over Fauchon's framboise madeleine for a second.Miam-miam
It looked to me like she is flinging framboise seeds at her face as a treatement..
Pierre Frey would like you to read by a framboise light...
Marie-Papier says you must write on framboise papier.
For your newborn? Framboise little woolies from Jacadi.
My one and only watercolor framboise sitting a top a Jean-Paul Hevin petit four chocolat..
I will taste this framboise cupcake before I leave France!
Yesterday at Secco - framboise framboise framboise!
Yesterday La Mom in Paris said...I want to know French Girl's secret to complex framboise dressing. Ah wouldn't we all like to know that. Yesterday I found out French Girl has been reading my blog all along! I immediately spilled framboise yogurt down my front. 
I wrongly assumed that everything was colored framboise in FG's apartment because the runners are framboisesque. I was corrected swiftly. They are in fact RED. It is traditional in French apartments to have RED runners.

Oh...
I thought I asked for 'framboise' jam with my croissant, but I got fraise/strawberry...
