in the wrong spot

Parisian pigeons on a wire that stretches 

across the rue Montmartre.

If they flew one street over to the right, to 

the market street of rue Montorgeuil, 

they'd find some yummy things including snails at

l'Escargot Montorgeuil (founded in 1832)

and the original baba au rum at Stohrer, Paris's

oldest patisserie (there since 1730).

Thursday Challenge—"expensive"

Granted, this is Stohrer, the oldest pâtisserie
in Paris (and birthplace of the baba au rhum),
where yumminess doesn't come cheap
and is mostly worth a splurge.  But I do
 think that 48 euros—about $66—is a bit dear
even for this gorgeous gâteau.  Would you pay it?

Thursday Challenge: red

Red, you say?  I snapped this shot last
November on rue Montorgeuil—one of
Paris's wonderful market streets—of
red tables, red chairs, a red awning, a red
building . . . and some red roses!

Les Fleurs d'Aujourd'hui

This (30 euro!) arrangement was for sale at a florist
on the market street rue Montorgeuil. The strawberries
were an unexpected addition, don't you think?

 the 1st of the month, so I've posted to my Paris blog.]
