St Germain-en-laye.. a suburb of Paris i stayed in.

Birthplace of Louis XIV & Henry II, it is rather bourgeois, but I actually prefer old apartments with floorboards that creak & lots of wood.

The castle..

I spy with my little eye.

Petit dejeuner... simple et bon.

the little streets of St Germain-en laye

Can never say no to cheese.

The saturday flea market

Town square where we bumped into a friend with whom we had dinner, thats how small the city is!

Was invited to a lovely baptism of Celeste..

it was an evening of excesses..

I had to stop myself halfway thru the foie gras... so smooth & creamy but you gotta think of those arteries!

pistachio macaroon with cream & raspberry... went to heaven & back.

Handmade chocolates... knocked on heaven's door once more!

Dinner was soooooo good we literally floated back to St Germain-en-laye & vowed to skip breakfast & lunch the next day.
