Come Fly With Me - A Decadent Breakfast in Paris

So glad you could make it with me to Paris



 Airplanes have made the world so much smaller and
now the internet can bring the world straight into your home.
Today we are taking the direct flight to Paris 
from Salt Lake City so you
will get there relaxed and refreshed and ready to hit
the streets.
Of course traveling anywhere with me wouldn't be much without the food.

You can eat anywhere in Paris and have wonderful food.

(Video by www.placesinfrance.com)

Paris is known as the City of Lights
and the Eiffel tower sparkles on the hour at night to welcome you
so depending on when your flight comes in, you might get to see
this welcome.


Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world from 
the architecture 
to the art to the people, but also
the food and especially their pastries,
so since we are hungry from our long flight,
and we arrive at 10:30 am,
we will start by sampling a few goodies 
for
breakfast.
(All photos on this post with the exception of the
video were taken last year on our trip to Paris.)


From pastries to chocolates -
SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE!





Yes, this breakfast is going to be very
decadent
but you can pace yourself!








I suggest bringing some
back to the hotel
in case you get a craving later.



But don't stress,
we have all week to indulge.


AND don't worry, we won't gain weight because we are going
to walk everywhere this week!



And I mean everywhere - it is the only way to see Paris.


So indulge yourself!


You deserve it.


And who knows when we will get back!

So now that we have had our breakfast, rest for a little
and we will continue our trip to Paris throughout the
week by

visiting Anita's blog
for more delightful experiences
in Paris all week as we celebrate the beauties of 
Paris
The City of Lights.

  6. I need to go to Paris; sweets like I've never seen before.
    Good thing you walk everywhere, after eating some of those treats you'd need it. I think I could eat one of those BIG waffles.
    Thanks for sharing all these goodies.

  8. THAT THICK DENSE CHOCOLATE THING....what in the world....QUE DIABLE EST-CE???? :)

    The only saving grace IS the walking aspect because when I was in Paris, I ATE ALL I WANTED AND EVERYTHING I WANTED and you know what? I lost weight...coming back HERE, I got back to normal. WHY? I can't walk to work in Minneapolis!!

    Jacqueline, it was one year ago that we met through this party. THANK YOU MY DEAR for participating!!! LOVE TO YOU and this was decadence par excellence!! Anita

  9. Everything is so decadent. I love your pictures that bring back such special memories for me of a wonderful pear tart on Rue Cler, chocolates from the Marais and macaroons from Ladureé. I loved all your Paris posts last year. Don't we wish we were back there again? Glad you joined the party. I am loving it.

  23. Even if I can't eat it all, just looking at all the foodstuffs in Paris is enough for me. Hope your weather is better than when I was there a few weeks ago. Enjoy!

  27. That is one of the prettiest pictures of the Eifell Tower that I've seen yet - all lit up! The desserts on here look so yummy. When my girls traveled to Paris, they said that the food was so delicious. You have such a lovely blog, and it's nice to meet new friends.

  28. You made me laugh when you said don't mind the calories. I always walk so much in Paris I lose weight! It seems impossible but I swear it's something in the air. My favorite Paris tradition is to unpack, go get foie gras, bread and wine and have a picnic on the bed of my hotel. It gets me in the mood. Then a nap and I'm off for the day.

    That said, no one does packaging like the French (ok, the Japanese do a great job too-- just different). You show it off beautifully! Thanks to Anita for getting us all together in Paris.

  33. How perfect! I agree, when in Paris I walk everywhere, eating as I wish, and weight gain is not an issue. Wish I could accomplish the same here. LOL
    Wonderfully delicious post, Jacqueline. ~ Sarah

  34. G'day Jacqueline!
    Oh my goodness...breakfast!??
    "Your very pretty morsels were delicious!!"...says she, who sits in front of a computer screen while feasting on a bowl of porridge! Haha... You see, it is winter here in Australia. I loved your photos! Such amazing baking cleverness in assembling this vast array of yumminess.
    Thanks for sharing.
