Paris, Day One

I had to take a pic of my very first sight of Paris, the City of Love. Walking up from our subway stop.


The first stop for me, Dong, and Eric. The chocolate croissant was great. Perfect after a 14 hour flight.



Fresh seafood, brought in from Brittany?



During this trip, I had macarons from three legendary patisseries. Lenotre, Pierre Herme, and Lauduree. I prefer macarons from Pierre Herme.



Le Comptoir for lunch with Chefs David, Dong and Eric.

I got a pic with the chef of La Baratin. She did all the cooking on a 6 burner stove, in the kitchen the size of my closet. I am humbled.
