Stinky Cheese !

I am very well aware of most stereotype about France and today I found those hillarious maps : the first one shows how Japanese see France then on the second map it’s British people then on the third it’s how American see France. I just thought that would be funny to share it with you!

Try a Merveilleux !

Forever Young — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:06:25 +0000

The question is, is it better to choose a fabulous designer cake, same desert for everyone or as we do it more and more often in Paris, choose several cakes?

I personnally would prefer the second one as i have two favourite pastries : Le Merveilleux (on the picture) and Le Fraisier. As I am sure most of you don’t know what Le merveilleux is i am going to explain, it’s beating air meringues, strong on the outside but not totally cooked on the inside, chocolate butter cream and shaving chocolate…it’s a taste of heaven and even though you can find a merveilleux pretty much in each and every pastry shop in Paris, the one and only merveilleux is the one from a pastry shop called “Le Merveilleux”.

Please try it and let me know !

Jewellery like in a fairytale

Forever Young — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:04:10 +0000

My all time favorite is Emmanuelle Zysman’s, I have been fond of her work for a while now and I almost buy my jewellery exclusively from her. Everything is simply magnificent, when you first enter this little boutique, you feel like in a fairytale, the atmosphere is very unique ; from the delicate smell of fig tree parfume in the air to the luxurious black painted walls and most importantly the jewellery exposed everywhere in the boutique under crystal vase.

I suggest you visit her website http://www.emmanuellezysman.fr or if you get the chance to be in Paris go to 81 rue des Martyrs, 75018 Paris

Gainsbourg, the ultimate rebel artist

Forever Young — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:00:58 +0000

The life and death of a Serge Gainsbourg, our French cultural hero have been recreated in a new biopic “Serge Gainsbourg – a heroic life”. As I’m french myself, I did knew most of Gainsbourg’s story but do you know him? If not, please listen to “la javanaise” or “je t’aime moi non plus” and get to know the very special poet who is even more appreciated today than he was the day he died. Nearly 20 years after his death, the hold Gainsbourg continues to command over France’s cultural imagination is quite extraordinary perhaps it was because people could see he was fragile, that he wanted to be loved.

The movie directed by Joann Sfar, well-known for The Rabbi’s Cat series of comic books, is a very big deal here. We will always consider Serge Gainsbourg as a lengendary poet.

Une religieuse à la violette

Forever Young — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:58:19 +0000

If you are going to Paris soon, please stop at Laduree for hot cocoa and mostly for a pastry. I know if a parisian is reading this he is going to think that it is obvious. Laduree is and has always been the place to have a pastry or a macaron, their specialty !

My own personnal choice for a pastry is always the same : A religieuse a la violette and as it comes to macaron it’s “fresh mint leave” but unfortunatelly this flavor this only sporadically available so if you ever see it, just try it (and let me know what you think)!
