Walking by Paris on the way to work

On the way to work from RER C station Musée d'Orsay this morning. Beautiful view of the city.

Paris is this winter cold and romantic. The sky gets every evening different great colors. You just need hot clothing to appreciate the city during a short walk before having a hot chocolate!

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).

Exhibition Sempé

Salle Saint-Jean.
5, rue de Lobau.
75004 Paris.
Metro : Hôtel de Ville (line 1)
Opened from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 8:30pm
Free

I just wanted to see this exhibition and could not find time for it. When at least got there found a waiting line, but finally I get in about 10min later. Hope it will be really good...

Inside the wait is still long! 10 extra min and nothing to see! Just think about living the exhibition and I decide to jump the line to have a look on some drawings. This magnificent work is first shown inside of small windows which are all installed along a wall, so to see them all you must wait in line… I could not wait! So I just saw some of them and could have a fast glance to this Parisian ambience with the views on the small parks, and streets what a great work. I really love Sempé drawings…

After the “first room” no more waits, there are several groups of drawing organized by publication so you can see the American review for which the artist worked.

It’s a great job, it’s beautiful, and it’s all in one good to laugh and poetic. But if you do not want to wait you can just buy one of his books or the exhibition catalogue that should be just ok!
