Paris Out-Takes, 2025, Part The Third

"I swear it said it was a 72-hour deodorant"

Postcard photo of the annual Montmartre server's race, c. 1910

Woke creche...

Art nouveau urinal in the Bois de Boulogne

Frequent flyer eye masks

At the Grand Epicerie de Paris, Bon Marche

"But Google Maps says Emily's apartment is right here"

Marais attitude, 2025

Church flea market

Stanchion covers, Marais

Ditto

Awaiting the arrival of a celebrity, Hotel Lutetia

Crossed the Atlantic more than 60 times, lived in Paris for a decade;
first woman to win a Pulitzer

Anything goes...

Boy scouts and girl scouts returning from a weekend camp-out

Children's philosophy/poetry bookstore; seriously

Right in the middle of the Latin Quarter

Knife-making artisan

Moveable baptismal font

Place Vendome...much history

Business opportunity: because Costco never gives you the jus

Leisure suits definitely are back: proof that history
does repeat itself

Anything else goes, too

Pastries at a grocery

Crazy here too

Extraordinary meat/cheese board at a resto in St. Denis

In case you missed it in a previous post, "our" boulangerie/
patisserie, Michael Reydillet won the best baguette in Paris
prize for 2025; he'd also won it in 2016; we have been truly
spoiled...Reydillet a block away and Bread and Roses just
half that...

Dessert at the extremely popular Relais d'Entrecote at
Montparnasse...le Vacherin, layers of meringues, vanilla
ice cream and raspberry sorbet, topped with raspberry
coulis and whipped cream

French fruit cake

French hot dogs

Running for his life...

At Odette's, a pair of lemon cream filled choux

Even McDos can be objects of beauty in Paris

Maybe next time

At the Edgar Quinet market, Montparnasse

My entree at La Souffle

Hers

My salmon souffle

Her duck non-souffle

My grand marnier dessert; can't believe they trust you with the
bottle

Her creme brulee dessert

In the 1st

I also did some cooking...here, my scallops in a Ricard cream sauce

PS--a favorite discovery this trip was the butter with embedded salt crystals...e.g., Maison Lescure

Being a compendium of places/dishes we ate in 2025, food curiosities, and other foodie stuff...

We lived a block away from the Cyril Lignac patisserie
in the 11th, in 2019, and so had to stop by for a few more
incredible treats

We lived in the 11th also in 2014, and there discovered what has
become our family-favorite creperie, Creperie Bretonne, at 67 Rue de Charonne;
here is Penelope, age 3, discovering Chantilly
