My first two days in Paris have been spent primarily in the pursuit of gastronomical affairs. Forget the Louvre or the D’Orsay, just give this girl something good to eat. From the breakfast picked up from Bread & Roses bakery and enjoyed in the picturesque Jardin du Luxembourg, to the palmier bought from a street cart near the Republique, to the Eric Kayser baguette that didn’t even stand a chance as soon as it was in my hands, to the caramel with salted butter macaroon from Laduree – I’ve consumed more butter, sugar, and bread in these two days alone than I have all this year. Oh well, c’est la vie!
