Taylor and I escaped to Paris for a day of Lèche-vitrine. We had hoped to find a few little items for Christmas gifts, but mostly we just wanted to wander around this amazing city and enjoy the ambiance of of the holiday season.
Presentation is a big deal in France. From homework, to cooking to Christmas decorations outside the shops Parisians KNOW how to make things look elegant!
One of Taylor's students from INSEAD knew we were going to Paris for the day. He insisted that we go to Angelina's for a breakfast snack. After getting off the train we headed straight there. It was worth it! Incredible hot chocolate. One of our guide books mentioned their hot chocolate, but said it was so rich you shouldn't order it before noon. That was no concern to us. Bon Appetite!
The dried fruit here at Christmas time is amazing! They have an enormous variety and it's just beautiful. Terribly expensive though. 
I wanted to buy these pears to give the kids for the first day of Christmas. I changed my mind when I realized that 49,95 euros was like $75 for two pounds!
The foie grass won at a mere 210 euros per kilo. I'm not so sure I would have even known the difference between this stuff and the cheaper variety.
The bakeries have the best window displays. Of course, they are edible!
