E. Dehillerin

The cooking classes completed, it was time to acquire appropriate equipment for baking back home. This required a trip E. Dehillerin, in the 1st, where one goes to buy traditional French cooking equipment in the traditional French way. 

Walking from the Comedie Francaise bus stop to the Bourse...

We assume the bell was to call for manning the barricades
or possibly massacring the Huguenots

Inside E. Dellerins, pretty close to Les Halles; in business
since 1820; has a website...https://www.edehillerin.fr/fr/

Assorted interior first floor views


Price list, copies posted around the store









Note duck feet

So, with that mission accomplished, and noticing we were
only a kilometer from a favorite frites joint on the Grands
Boulevards, we set forth on foot, enjoying more sights...

On Etienne Marcel, near our 2021 apartment in the 2nd





































































On Rue Montmartre















Not as good as real Flemish frites, but good enough; must remember
that one small order would feed a family of four; curry ketchup....



And what trip to get cookware and french fries would be complete
without a stop by Saint-Chapelle?

Our Passion Monuments passes from last year are still valid, so we can
just walk right in...


FYI: the ongoing restorations will be completed in
January, 2027, they say; or whenever they're done...
