Paradise of Pastries

When you go to get your pastry in the morning, there are so many choices to make.  First, you can decide DocRunning, Rock Monkey, and I all prefer flaky pastries.  You have to search to find the right shop.  The second consideration is to choose the right pastry.  There are so many kinds of pastries, and they sometimes are different at each pastry.  I like a plain croissant.  DocRunning prefers a Pain au Chocolat.  Rock Monkey likes a variety of pastries. 

We've moved around a lot, so we had to find the right place.  Here's a list of some of our favorite places (by city):

Paris - Eric Kayser
Chartres - La Fournee
Brussels - Charli

We've shown some of our favorite places, tell us your favorite places for pastries in the comments.  

Good and not as good about traveling

My Favorite Places in Paris

I like many places in Paris, but some places i like better than others.  Here's a list of some my favorite places in Paris:

Sacre Coeur

• Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) a beautiful white church
• Jardin de Luxembourg a delightful playground 
• Tour de Eiffel (Eiffel Tower) take the stairs to the second floor saves money
• Musee de l'orangerie a small place with big Monet water lilys
• Jardin des Tuilleries a lovely garden with a nice playground 

Now that I have shown you some of my favorite places, try adding a list of places on the comments (below) from a city that you think is cool.

Unusual sights in Paris

Ram eating grass in the Jardin Du Tuilleries

Lots people come to see Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, but if you look around you  find there are a lot more interesting sights to see.  We don't just mean Sacre Coeur.  We mean like unusual sights that takes a little exploring to find.  For example:

• A ram eating grass (giving it a trim) in the Jardin des Tuilleries. 
• A French man riding an Airwheel.
• A petting zoo next to Sacre Coeur complete with a small bull (le vau), a goat (le chevre), and a pig (un couchon).

  

  Largest wheel of cheese ever!

• The largest wheels of cheese ever known to mankind!
• An Egyptian statue in the middle of a busy Parisian street (influenced by Napoleon, we think).

Here's a tip for finding these things: walk instead of other transportation.
