Des bonbons et du vin

Candy and wine

Even simple candy looks better in Paris.  There are so many delicious edibles in Paris that I am almost never tempted by candy of this sort.  However, at home I would never be able to keep my hands out of jars that looked like this.

Do you have a sweet tooth?

(Joyeux Mardi Gras!!)

Epicerie-confiserie P. Legrand Filles et Fils

1, rue de la Banque

75002, Paris

Epicerie Bastille

I snapped this petite shop from across the busy Boulevard Beaumarchais. It is narrow among many larger offerings on this wide street at the edge of the Marais, but there was as much activity in and out as a hive of bees.

Bon weekend

Graineterie - Epicerie

We found this little shop in December with its herbs and small pot plants displayed out front. I did not find a translation for "graineterie" and I cannot get to my Larousse (from my Baltimore hotel room!)

Thank you for any help you can provide in this translation.

UPDATE: Thanks to Vreni, Malyss and others, we can definitively say that "graineterie" in this instance is a store in which seeds are sold. Thanks to Starman, I found my beloved Larousse on-line for free. It is interesting that Malyss' dictionary from the late 1800s and the internet dictionary produced the translation, a centuries-old translation! Merci a (no accent marks on laptop) vous. As we say in the South... "Thank you to all y'all!"

Bon mardi!
