La Tour Eiffel-


In the window of Galeries Lafayette, the display of kitchen utensils had this special grater. I wish that I had bought a few of them for gifts and one for my home. It would certainly give one something to think about while grating carrots for dinner.

    Une autre Tour Eiffel! Interresant. Et pratique. Bons cadeaux pour des amis, vraiment. Votre oeil, et appareil-photo, trouvent de telles images merveilleuses.

    I'm SO lucky ~ a beautiful girlfriend sent me one of these after a Paris trip! I feel very special whenever I grate a little parmesan over something.

    I want one! This is so much better than the plastic souvenir ones from the tower, or the plastic gondolas in Venice!

    What a brilliant idea for a souvenir or gift for a friend Genie. I would have to keep at least one for myself however.

    beautiful capture of a gadget many of us would love to have in our kitchens...though I'm not certain how practical a kitchen tool the tower-grater would be.

    A "grate" souvenir! :~} Saw these in a shop window on the Ile St. Louis. If the shop hadn't been closed and I hadn't been leaving that day . . . Oh well. Next time, n'est-ce pas?

    Oh, but this could be dangerous ... you could be day dreaming of Paris so much that you grate through the cheese all the way to your fingers ... Lovely, shiny, unique ET.

    I have so enjoyed these comments and some new friends, too! I really think that this would be dangerous for me in the kitchen but would love to have it propped for "show" and a reminder of a place I love...

    Merci, and have a wonderful week, all! (I am catching up) Bises, G
