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!

It worked… I’m drooling uncontrollably now! :P~~~~
All breads and pastries should be as wonderful as these. Welcome back!
Tu viens de m’achever alors que je finis un repas insipide avec un pauvre yaurt aux fruits! 🙁
That’s a torture!!!
All that looks heavenly. Give me a fresh crusty loaf of good bread and a slab of butter and I will need nothing else except maybe some nice fruit to go with it.
Oooh now my mouth is watering!
Mmm, I totally want some flan. It looks delish!
Oh wow, your South American trip was just last year? It felt like it was ages ago, when I remembered your photos from Costa Rica to Ushuaia and back. And sadistic? Yes, like the marquis maybe? Except that I prefer sadism with food better.
OMG! You’re sooo evil and cruel!
But yes, they look awesome and I guess they taste awesome too!
I so wanna boycott this after dark! I’m hungry now. 🙁
** psss I wanna taste all those delectable pastries and pies! *drools*
How do people not gain weight eating that stuff? They just look at it??? Beautiful pics and welcome back to Canada!!!
THANK YOU for posting these amazing, amazing pictures. I’m drooling all over my computer! I miss French bakeries so much, but I can practically smell the fresh baguettes just from looking at these!
Some of the pies and cakes looked familiar. However, they’re all delicious I guess. Looking at the cakes and pies didn’t make me drool but thinking about eating them did. Too bad for those who are planning to go on a diet.
Have a safe flight back!
I love French bakeries too! You are right, your photos are making me drool! Your trip to London and France is awesome! The best of all is that you and Feng are taking us with you on your blog~~:)
@Mark W – Sorry! Even I’m drooling looking back at the pics 😉 Can you recommend a good bakery in Ottawa?
@Delph – Oups, désolée 😉
@Ines – 😆
@Tulsa Gentleman – I’m like you, I can pass on cakes but bread is very important.
@RSA Course – Sorry! 😆
@Lizz – Flan is nice, a bit like egg tarts.
@Linguist-in-Waiting – Yes, we left in december 08 but came back in March 2009. It feels it was years ago to me…
@Nigel – Yep, that’s me, the evil one 😆
@kyh – You will have to travel to France, then!
@expatraveler – Funny isn’t it! I didn’t gain any weight in France and trust me, I eat very well.
@Soleil – If you want, you can even download the large version of the pics for additional torture. I have two of these in my kitchen, hung above the table.
@Accounting – France is a not a country where people diet much I think, too many good stuff to try!
@Celine – Thank you!
@micki – Thank you so much! I enjoy sharing the pictures and stories, and it’s also motivating me to discover the world.
French bakery? No, we usually call it a “patisserie” here in England.
It’s kinda posh – Ha ha!
Anyway, I am so hungry now!!! Ha ha…
The bread! I miss it so much.
