Parisien Philistine
OK, culture vultures will beat the crap out of me and the Skinny Epicurean when they learn that we did not visit a single museum during our time there. I mean, nine days is a decent amount of time to at least pay homage to Mona Lisa. Ostensibly she wasn't our top priority as we preferred paying homage instead to markets, restaurants, boulangeries, patisseries and other eateries around Paris. After having our fill, we walked it off by wandering around the lanes and alleys of this lovely city which is best explored on foot or bike.
The pictures below are potentially incriminating pictures which I hope culture vultures will never use as evidence against me as cause for arrest!
An absolutely to-die-for gelato from La Pozzetto in an area called Marais. The pistachio, hazelnut and chocolate combo was so richly flavoured it was just heavenly. I couldn't stop smiling as I ate it.
Sinking my teeth into a sugar crepe made by an eccentric crepe maker who takes his own sweet time making crepes even when a long line of people are waiting.
The diva's eating her macha millefeuille at Sadaharu Aoki. Do not disturb!
Many thanks to the Skinny Epicureans for the pictures!
