Commelisbonne. 37 Rue du Roi de Sicile We have just returned from two weeks in this area. We loved to stop for a small tart on the way back to out apartment to keep us satisfied until we could pour the wine, slice the bread and plate the cheese ! Really a disappointment when they had sold out .

At LV Anne was always chiding the students about ‘anemic’ pastry, and how right she was. The toasting of the flour in a butter pastry makes all the difference in flavor. It’s wonderful to taste a millefeuille cooked to a tan complexion! And even Anne would hold her breath when I caramelized apples for my Tarte Tatin – mahogany caramel has more depth, as you say, but also it is less sweet. I made mahogany Italian meringue yesterday. Hope you can try it before you leave Paris!

I am also a habitué of graveyards when I travel…they give a sense of the history of a place, for one thing, and are always quiet and contemplative places to wander.

Great to hear from you, really loving the Marais, a great change of scenery and vibe. Thanks for the lead on La Droguerie, like I need any yarn right now. Brought some home for small projects while over here and have barely gotten through a few rows. Paris is kinda distracting that way.

Hi! I was sent to follow your blog by Kathleen Bauer. Paris? Food? Love it! We stayed in le Marais last fall, and had a great time. 10 years before, we stayed near the Luxembourg Gardens. I hope it’s not 10 years before we visit again. I didn’t know about the Canal St. Martin, and now I want to go see it.

Are you a knitter? You should visit La Droguerie. It’s a very different yarn shop experience from what we know in the states. I blogged my trip there: http://pdxknitterati.com/2012/09/14/i-bought-yarn-i-didnt-need/

Enjoy your time in Paris!
