Rue du Bac

Rue du Bac

While his maman was shopping in the store

this petit enfant was captivated by the 

display of Eiffel Towers.

I was wondering how to get this

item into an overhead bin

for the trip home...

Chocolat Foucher - chocolatier confiseur

Foucher

Maison de Chocolat depuis 1819

Rue du Bac is a meandering shopping street just behind Bon Marché.  

This may be the "home" boutique for these fine chocolats, 

and it even offers a salon de thé for a quiet respite from the holiday shopping.  

I could imagine finishing the gift list with selections of chocolates 

and then settling in for a chocolat chaud for myself.

Dans ma chambre!

No, these racoons were not in my bedroom, 

but they made an eye-catching window display on Rue du Bac.

I have certainly never seen 

un raton laveur in Paris!

vive le goûter! - La Pâtisserie des Rêves

vive le goûter!

Ah, yes, this is definitely the season!

There will be many "reformers" at my gym next week 

who have made New Year resolutions to get back in shape.  

Most of them will be gone by February.

Interestingly, this is the sign on the window of  

La Pâtisserie des Rêves on Rue du Bac.

des chaussettes!

Colorful tights

This vibrantly colored window on Rue du Bac

reminds me of some wild socks I received as a gift.

Actually, I do not think that I saw any 

French women wearing styles such as these.

Lèche-vitrines - Paris à Noël

Window shopping

on Rue du Bac

On a Saturday morning, 

Rue du Bac turns into a promenade of the families who live nearby.  

We saw many greetings across all generations 

as people paused in the street to chat.  

This young child was warmly dressed 

and had the requisite trottinette to make the Saturday rounds.  

As for the mother, you know I will say that...

...she must be a French girl

des coeurs sous une cloche

Hearts under a cloche

Just as this bell-shaped glass was designed 

to protect English garden plants from frost, 

this cloche may be protecting fragile hearts.

There was an immediate appeal to this window scene 

which was likely just a whim of the designer.  

I do wonder though....
