Tour of my Neighborhood and My Weekend with Dad

Dad visited Paris this weekend and I took him on a tour of my neighborhood.  And he insisted on taking my picture in front of every store.  

First stop: a chocolate shop that makes bouquets of chocolate so that it looks like flowers.  Delicious flowers.

The seafood market.  I'm standing next to real, live oysters.

The fresh produce market.

Another chocolate store.  This one had marzipan that was shaped like pumpkins and cheeses.

The flower shop. But blurry.

The fromagerie.  Yuck.

The butchers.  With really amazing smelling rotisserie chickens.

My school.  We were going to go inside but apparently it's all locked up on Saturdays.

This is Tarte Julie, a really delicious tart restaurant by school.

This is a really delicious chocolate store that is nowhere near where I live but deserves documentation.  Not sure if you can see all of it, but in the window there is a giant box of chocolates on the left, a chocolate statue on the right, and their chocolate collection for this season in little jewelry boxes in the front of the window.

Same store, different window.  With really amazing pastries.

This is my favorite metro station entrance.  It's right by the Palais Royal and the Louvre.

And this is the Place des Vosges.  It's the oldest square in Paris and is a perfect square, with perfect symmetry.

You should have taken the camera from dad and taken a picture of him in the chocolate store! When do I get to see the new coat? I'm making note of some of these pastries and choc stores for our visit! Can't wait.
