Paris Pastry Shops

one of the best things about Paris is admiring the window displays of the pastry shops.  inspirational works of art with intricate details - some to pretty to eat, and others...well, scrumptious!  enjoy...

 

while strolling through the Marais neighborhood in the 4th arrondissement, one must visit the Place des Vosges - a beautiful, historic Parisian square where Victor Hugo once lived.  it also is known as the oldest square in Paris.

and a typical sign you'll see in Paris designating a street or market square.

and here is a similar sign we stumbled upon in the window of a pâtisserie...crafted in CHOCOLATE, nonetheless!!

looking forward to our next visit whenever that may be.  maybe to sample a nutella crêpe, a slice of opera cake, or a delicious fruit tarte as pictured above from a pâtisserie?  mmmmm.....
