HAPPY NATIONAL CROISSANT DAY and BEST CROISSANTS IN PARIS!

| "Le Petit Dejeuner, 5x7-inches, oil on Gessobord |
My mind is in Paris where no breakfast would be complete without a croissant. I prefer my croissant au beurre (butter, no margarine) with a café Américain, while sitting at a café watching the energy of Paris pass by. My all-time favorite is the pain au chocolat, a buttery croissant dough folded around dark chocolate. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Renowned Chef David Lebovitz (if you’re a fellow cook book collector, check out his. “My Paris Kitchen” is a fave! I’ll talk about my 9’ floor-to-ceiling collection of cook books another time) named Maison Landemaine best croissant in Paris!
My croissant travel checklist includes creations by:
- Maison Pichard
- Café Pouchkine Paris
- Stohrer
- Laurent Duchêne Paris
- Du Pain et des Idée
- La Maison d’Isabelle
I cannot wait to return to Paris.
Le Petit DeJeuner has sold. Matted fine art prints are available.
Until then,
