Croissants et Pain au Chocolat!

What a joy in the mornings to walk outside my front door and get fresh hot croissants! It is a little pleasure I have after a long stressful work week, to pop down in my pyjamas masked with a jacket and sprint right back up to go to enjoy my goodies with a lovely cappuccino.

Many frenchies eat this every morning... But as I'm not a big bread person it makes the weekends special. OH! The odeur, the flakiness, the sweet almond, or chocolate tastes… its just soooo good!I'm a very lucky girl to have a great Boulanger at the foot of my door... very lucky indeed!

outside my front door...

I have this lovely view when I walk outside my door...

the street "chevallier de la barre" is this a little winding cobblestone street that leads directly up to the back of the Sacre Coeur. There I find a lovely hidden park, known it seems to only locals, when in the summertime you'll find a grassy ground pitterpattered with sun seeking parisiens. The views are amazing, there is a fountain that can , if we close our eyes, make one believe we are in the middle of a forrest, right in the center of the city!

Best moment, when the bells of the church chime. Its really quite a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
