C'est le 1er Mai!
What better combination than Martine Lambert fraises/strawberry ice cream + a sprig of lilly of the valley/muguet?
It's tradition.
Shop owners give you a sprig of muguet on 1 mai I got this at patisserie Jean Millet where I bought a citrony sable/cookie.
Everyone walks around clutching a sprig or bouquet...
On the bus
Much muguet...
In fact all Paris is scented with sweet muguet aromas.
You just breath in...

| At florist Eric Chauvin, the creme de la creme of muguet bouquets. |
His vendeuse wears such a pretty bow on her shoulder - so French!
Traditionally the chocolate shops sell briefly choco pots de muguet
Put a bird on your pot de muguet at La Petite Chocolatiere
La Mere du Famille displays their new book as well...
I went looking for Dior's muguet and found instead lush perfume Caron.
I could have stayed all day dreaming in front of their windows on Avenue Matignon...
Ah...the smell of it...
Even Mariage Freres has a lily of the valley tea!
Signs in the Metro tell you to GET OUTSIDE in the fresh air!!!
Yesterday was glorious in Paris.
Everyone was out getting the fresh air.
