I love Paris in the springtime...

Caneles Baillardran - Paris, original art, 5" x 7"

I spotted this charming Canelés Baillardran cart in Gare Paris Montparnasse...

Can a food cart count as a "facade"?

Canelés Baillardran originate in Bordeaux but you can find them everywhere in France. Please tell Amtrack that we need some French caneles!!!

They are crusty on the outside and inside a tad custardy...oh it's impossible to describe the taste sensation of these little cakes/cookies..

They are baked in these gorgeous traditional copper molds called moule, which they also sell at the train station cart!

They are not very big, but evidently just one of these will do for lunch! Ah so that's how those Frenchies keep so trim...

Something the French do really well is food carts...

Or should I say another thing the french do well...hmmm

Laduree takes the cake (sorry) for fancy food carts - this one was at the exit of the Marie-Antoinette exhibit last March. Who could resist?

This little gem sits just outside Galerie Lafayette Gourmet - that must take some nerve. Yet they offer delicious little inexpensive treats. Here's a delicious treat I heard on the BBC this morning...

VIVE LA FRANCE

If you have 15 minutes to spare you may end up with a smile plastered on your face like mine was... BONNE JOURNEE!

Estou adorando o blog da Carol Gillot, que além de ser uma desenhista e aquarelista ótima, mora em Paris e adora coisas gostosas de Paris, sem contar que fala um inglês fluente como nosso amigo chic, aquele chiquérrimo.

E por falar em amigos chics, a comadre vai passar o carnaval em Paris!!!!!
