We’re still on our foodie tour Paris, France. It’s been a great tour so far. We’ve been to a chocolate shop, a bakery, and a cheese shop. Or in français, un chocolatier, une boulangerie, and une fromagerie. Now it’s time for “la patisserie”. No wonder everything tastes better over here.

Pizza in Paris
We had a fun and adventurous morning on our first day waking up in Paris. After my early-morning foraging trip, we went to two of the great old Paris department stores to look around and to pick up some macarons from Ladurée and Hermé for a taste test.

I had been out for quite awhile, so even though we were in Paris, I decided to go to a Starbucks. – Yep, that’s right, Starbucks. There was one just down the street on the corner.
Inside the Starbucks, there was a line, just like any Starbucks at home. But that was where the similarity ended. Quite a few of the drinks on the menu board didn’t have the same names as the ones I’m familiar with. Continue reading “Paris Starbucks, Ladurée, and Hermé”
