Pastries - Chouquettes

These are simple pastries easy to do at home. When seeing them in the bakeries I thought the contrary but (be sure I'm bad on cooking) I cooked them easily for the second time this weekend and they did not last one day.
The chouquettes look like small bread balls with nice sugar bits on them (picture to come).
If you want to have Paris at home, you just need eggs, water, sugar, salt and butter I took the recipe on the web (French version).

Bon appétit!

Place Felix Eboué - Paris

On the Parisian places I really love you can get to place Felix Eboué, Metro Daumesnil (line 6 and 8). There is a magnificent fountain with Lyons, the ambience is really French. Twice à week, you will find an open market with fresh products, fishmonger, fruit stand... And until the end of January you can also enjoy illuminations.
Near this square you can also get Bastille (line 8).
