Cafes abound in Paris and Donna, Bill and I love to visit them often. There is a little place just below our apartment where they heat up the croissants and make wonderful espresso. Trouble is that we found in almost all of these cafes, they serve only croissants, not the kind of sweet things I like in the morning. Now across the way is what is said to be the best boulangerie in Paris. They serve amazing escargot de raisonne- raisin snails and tart de pomme - apple tarts. But one has to sneak in the pastry to enjoy the expresso with the pastry.
Another problem with cafes is that we want to visit them too often. Since we walk about 5 hours a day, we should be losing weight. I have not seen any evidence of that on myself, but Donna claims that she is gaining. Bill on the other hand has a noticeable sweet tooth, especially for what they call glace or ice cream. As you may guess their ice cream is incredible, always with some kind of flourish. I think that I am ready for desert.
