Okay, I'm going to be honest here. When I found out I'm going to Paris for a few days the first thing I thought of was the food. I was already making lists of all the patisserie places I wanted to go and visit. Mind you I did go to see the all the landmarks in Paris too - the architecture is incredible!
I'll just leave a few pictures from my trip here
Day 1
Galleries LaFayette
 |
| Strawberry, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Pistachio and Black Sesame macarons (I did try an Olive and Vanilla one from Pierre Herme!) |
 |
| Pierre Herme counter |
 |
| Beautiful looking Éclairs - I should add how expensive they were - around £5 for one! |
 |
| Lots of different spices |
 |
| A chocoholics dream - stacks of Lindt and the best part was you can taste anything you like! |
 |
| Eiffel Tower at night - The sheer scale of it and the architecture once you're stood next to it is breathtaking |
Day 2
 |
| Palace of Versailles - The palace of King Louis XIV |
 |
| Mango Sorbet with Whipped Cream |
 |
| Honeyed Duck Breast with Pumpkin Purée - This was the first time eating Duck and I'd definitely have it again! |
 |
| Steak and Chips |
 |
| Espresso, Blackcurrant sorbet, crème brulee and a mini chocolate Lava fondant |
 |
| Raspberry and Lychee Macaron |
Day 3
 |
| The view from the second floor of the Eiffel - It was absolutely freezing! |
 |
| Aquarium which had a touch pool where you could touch the fish! |
 |
| Arc de triomphe - Built to commemorate Napoleons victories |
 |
| The view from the top of the Arc de triomphe - There were nearly 300 winding steps to the top which ended up making you exhausted and dizzy but the view is totally worth it! |
 |
| Opera cake - Mega chocolatey and moreish |
