And that’s it… back to Canada. I’m glad it’s August and the weather will still be hot. It’s harder to come back from trav­el­ing when you are fac­ing a total dif­fer­ent cli­mate, like we did last year, in March, from Buenos Aires to Toronto.

To close this French series, I wanted to make you drool. Yes, I’m sadistic.

I love French bak­eries. There is one at every cor­ner and they all carry fresh bread, crois­sants, pains au choco­lat and pains aux raisin. They also have their spe­cial­ties, from elab­o­rate cakes to sim­ple fruit pies. I don’t really have a favorite, it depends on my mood, I guess it would be between: rasp­berry chaus­son and éclair (long thin pas­try made with filled with a cream and topped with icing).… But trust me, they are all good!

See you guys in Canada!
