They're so readily available I don't need to wait for Paris, so the allure is lost. I mean I wouldn't reject one if it was offered, just not beating a path to rue Bonaparte. Oh and there was the unfortunate incident when I was given a box of stale Laduree macs, I think they'd been Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188028989219458778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13618037.post-75874683809534870052010-08-04T09:21:24.901+01:002010-08-04T09:21:24.901+01:00Next time you're in Paris, please visit Sadaha...Next time you're in Paris, please visit Sadaharu Aoki and sample the Matcha macaroon.

Last time I was in Paris, a year ago or so, I had to blinker myself to avoid the temptation. So impossibly colored, yet the taste still somehow exactly matches those wild and delicate colors.

I'm sure I still do need those things, but it makes so much more sense to savor while you're there, and then walk home with light luggage and a full mind (ahem, and perhaps belly in my case...)
