HM LANVIN + MET/Haremhab + Des Gateaux & du Pain

Has this happened to you?

You go to the museum (in this case yesterday at the Metropolitan's new exhibit of Haremhab, the Egyptian general who became king) and all you notice is the elegant flat tums!

All you can think is, Oh why did you wolf down those divine chausson aux pommes in Paris?

A tough contest -
Between an elegant flat tum or an elegant chausson aux pommes...
Fortunately the first time you went to Des Gateaux et du Pain they were ferme! It was a mardi bien sur...
The flat tum won out that time...
All you got was a sneak peek into the open cuisine doorway...
Miam?
Or miam-miam? A second visit was more successful...
Les viennoiseries d'or at Des Gateaux are pretty darn irresistable...
And the interiors...
Are so darn elegant...
An Egyptian from Haremhab's time could easily have designed it...
I'd planned on tasting the prize-winning chausson aux pommes (according to Le Figaro) but the chausson aux agrumes (Pâte feuilletée au beurre frais et sel de guérande caramélisée, crème au jus et zeste de citron et pamplemousse) made my heart beat...
So fast I couldn't hold the camera still
munch munch
miam-miam

Was it worth it?

If it meant not looking as svelt and nubile as these Egyptian beauties?

Particularly with the HM Lanvin collection opening this Saturday!?

Oh why did I give in to temptation?

What would YOU have done?

Again at the Met another uncanny likeness of designer Alber Elbaz

Asking me, where was your restraint?

How will you fit into my gowns this Saturday?!

God only knows...

There are so many museums to visit-don't miss this one in Paris by going on a Tuesday. Mais faites attention!

They have FOUR video screens hidden by the cash register to catch undercover pastry sleuths. They let me off this time...

Do visit the Met's new expo too.
And what will you be doing this Saturday?

BONJOUR HM/LANVIN + MET/Haremhab + Des Gateaux & du Pain!
