No wonder the French kiss you two times...
Some insist on kissing you THREE times!bisous
bisous
bisous
There's certainly a lot of interest in what goes into the bouche/mouth...
Big mouths all over Paris...
In the vitrine at La Grande Epicerie makes perfect sense. Where else would you want to go food shopping if you had any centimes...
I kept seeing big mouths and I don't just mean that figuratively...
Though no one seems to wear much lipstick bien sur...
Eating flowers? Why not, if they're orchids...
Oddly the tiniest mouth in Paris was in Pierre Herme's vitrine/window. This makes no sense at all.
A banana mouth in the Metro - pourquoi pas?
"Scrounch!"
These generous mouth-sized chocolates are called petite bouchee, Eat just one and that's lunch!

Capture the New York Girl with such dash and ease..?
Yesterday as I was slogging through the 90 degree heat, the New York Girl was everywhere! New York tourists are always looking up, so they completely miss her...
Or they're looking and shooting each other at New York 'monuments' like Rock Center...
The way to find the TRUE New York Girl (or NYG) is to look at the ground...
Fab sandals everywhere. Does this NYG have a twisted ankle?
Divinely simple Gucci sandals - how could I miss the logos all over...
The Gucci's owner - quite soigne and all in neutrals.
Hey French Girls! The NYG has figured it out too ya know...
This classy babe wears common flip flops and pulls it off with panache...
Another quintessentially NYG in flip flops...

Does the NYG stop here for a chocolate sundae?
Does the NYG stop here for a chocolate sundae?Absolutement pas!
She's saving herself for Chocolatier Michel Cluizel on 5th avenue bien sur...
OMG! Where have I been?
A petite bouchee will do nicely...
Two smart NYGs catch a faint breeze in Bryant Park...
Another waits for the free movie to start in the park...
This New York mec/guy inspects the NYGs passing by...
Allo NY flics...

Allo NY flics...Have you taken a look lately at les flics de Paris? Man, are they buff!
Another NY mec lounges on 'Fashion Ave' and completely misses...
The fab Stephen Burrows 'Sidewalk Catwalk' display on his left. HMPH!
But a future-to-be New York babe doesn't miss a trick and is taking notes.
The NYG is toujour prepared for inclement weather and we've been having it.
A NY Goddess in the metro station...
Another goddess lounging on the subway - rather blase...
Natch she's got the latest gladiator sandals...

Rapunzel gets off at my stop in Astoria...
Am I a NYG? Of course I am.
You get it by osmosis if you can survive here long enough.
BONJOUR NEW YORK GIRLS!!!

Une petite visite today to an old fashioned candy shop -Les Chocolats Foucher
Just across the street from La Grande Epicier on 134, rue Bac, when you set foot in this tiny intimate shop you return to the 1920s.
Still family-owned since 1819, Foucher has cleverly kept all their original Arte Deco graphics on all their packaging. Why do so many shops feel they must modernise? :(
I love chocolate maps, but I really love all maps and this one is a winner!
A charming example of one of Foucher's box covers...they even have post cards of all these designs.
Foucher's boîtes de chocolats "Prestige"
I was first drawn to Foucher at the Salon du Chocolat by these irresistable art deco wrappers on their tablettes de chocolat, so I was delighted to find their shop. A PB reader sent me there.
But all of their candies have an old fashioned feel to them - it's the kind of place where your grandmere would have shopped...
And don't forget les petite bouchees! Bouchée means filled chocolate in a big version. The French sometimes skip lunch and have one entier bouchée instead. And if you have a big mouth, you can eat it in one bite, vous en faites une seule bouchée.
Here's a menu with all the details!
They have tea too at Foucher and bien sur, les macarons. In fact there's a tiny tea salon at the back of the shop for poor weary L'Epicier shoppers to come and recoup, but that's another story for another day...
Bye bye Foucher. See you in October :)BONNE JOURNEE!
