Monday Morning..............

Before breakfast each day Philippe drives or walks to a nearby bakery for fresh baguette.  This morning I went with him.

When I took this photo we were the only ones there, but when we left, there was a line of at least ten people.  The inside is about the size of a large kitchen so the line extended a long way out the door.

There's definitely no English spoken here so Philippe had to tell them that I wanted to buy Petit Fours.  There was a small tray with a pretty assortment so I bought the whole thing.  They'll be dessert after tonight's dinner.


One difference between bakeries in the U.S. and France is that here your purchases are all wrapped with a special waxed type paper and tied with ribbon or string.
