{Paris 5.2: Saint Germain and enjoying the gardens of Paris}
I am currently ADDICTED to these Sacristains from Du Pain et des Idees. Buttery twists of puff pastry intertwined with an orange blossom scented pastry cream. These are the kind of pastries I’ve been longing for since I was last in Paris two years ago. The ones that completely shatter into a million pieces when … Read more

Rise and shine.. I’m currently loving these thin toasted slices of the Pain D’Espices from a loaf I bought at Poilane Bakery.

Also a yummy afternoon snack … Read more

After a lot of contemplation while waiting in line, I selected this delectable looking pain au raisin for my breakfast. Flower stands are on every corner in Paris. Gorgeous blooms and so … Read more

Another gem from Du Pain et des Idees, a half loaf of the orange blossom water brioche. Decorated with candied nuts scented with rose. Buttery, chewy and fluffy interior surrounded by a crisp golden crust. Perfect for making one of my fave breakfasts, French Toast. Topped off with a drizzle with my Hediard rosemary honey, sliced … Read more
