Aux Merveilles de Fred

 Word out!
Whipped cream/Chantilly is very IN in Paris.
The chateau de Chantilly is another matter.

 According to Peter's Paris it is everywhere on top of everything. Peter is a 'Paris Greeter' and in the know.

We walzed through the 16th - rue de Passy et voila.

 Aux Merveilles de Fred (the center of the whipped cream universe)

 29, rue de l’Annonciation 75016

Toute est creme et meringue

 Miam...Miam...

 Peter bought a gateaux covered in chocolate flakes.
Inside?
Whipped cream of course.

 I LOVED the adorable graphics + wall mural (not being a whipped cream fanatic).

 Pierre Herme has embraced whipped cream passionately on a classic baba.

 Mon Dieu!

 I looked and admired...

 I resisted...

But I have until 29 April to succumb.

Who could resist this splendor?
Try out Paris Greeters next visit too.

Angelina For A Day...

I've been sitting here fantasizing working at Angelina for a day... Just for one day. How bad could that be? I know I'd be really terrific in the pastry brigade - Just let me at em! Miam! Lift that tarte citron - tote that tray. But carrying heavy trays laden chocolat chaud up stairs does not appeal to moi...pas de toute!

I think I'd stick to busing if you don't mind... After all, Angelina is a still life painters dream... Utterly dreamy non?
Perhaps I'd carry a little black Moleskine dans ma poche for quickie sketches between trays...

I'd tuck a twisted lemon peel in my pocket to give those still lifes a more Dutchie-look like this Pieter Claesz painting - pourquoi pas?

Angelina treats, watercolor at Etsy, 9" x 11"

Waiting on customers?

Hum...hum...pas si bien pour moi je pense...

I think I'd stick with les Paris doggies...

un peu d'eau mon ange?

After hours, maybe I'd tickle the keys a bit - Coco used to listen to this piano when she'd take a break from creating at Chanel...

Then I'd have a gouter of pate de chestnut - looks a lot like facial cream doesn't it oui?

Quick!

When no one is looking.

I'd grab a bottle of Angelina chocolat for the ride home on the Metro.

Not too shabby wouldn't you say?

BONJOUR ANGELINA H.R.!!!
