A pastry shop window. The streets are lined with bakeries and crepe stands. Everyone eats often but not too much.A kaledescopic perfectimundo. This segues into my suggestion to read Bee Season by Myla Goldberg.
The Mirror of Love in the Shakespeare and Company bookstore. 
We perused the two floors of carefully disorganized literature and I eavesdropped on a writing group meeting in a room at the back. Cots for writers in need of a place to sleep tucked into the corners on the top floor, a pair of theatre seats made a make-shift reading room, and a sign begged from atop a stained piano's keys: Play Me. I buy The Art of Travel and get it stamped with approval.
Ladurée is the Tiffany's of the macaroon world. Families, couples, trendy Pariesiens, and tourists waiting for a sugar fix stand in the two-hour-long line up for a table. Willy Wonka could only dream of this level of prestige.
