March 18th, 2009
Friday, March 20th is le Jour du Macaron (Macaron Day) in France. Created four years ago through a collaboration between renowned pastry chef Pierre Hermé and other members of the prestigious Association Relais Desserts, le Jour du Macaron raises money and awareness for the Federation des Maladies Orphelines children's charity. Pop into any participating patisserie- includingthe four Pierre Hermé Paris boutiques, and you'll receive 4 scrumptious macarons gratuit (that means they're free)! Each shop will have a box available to accept optional monetary donations to the FMO.

Where am I in Paris?
Published on: 2008-12-05
Sightseeing
Walking through the Place de la Concorde this afternoon, I was struck by the number of people standing on street corners examining their maps. Paris isn't built on a grid so a map is truly indispensable and as I mentioned a few posts ago, everyone here carries one. But the one thing that distinguishes the tourists from the locals (even if they're only locals temporarily) is that tourists are carrying the free maps with the Galleries Lafayette ads and the locals are invariably carrying a copy of Paris Par Arrondissements. This little book comes in a variety of colors and bindings but all provide a definitive map of every little street in town plus the all-important index. It can be maddening to use at first because you really need to have internalized the snail shell pattern of Paris's 20 arrondissements to make any sense of it.
