Paris was never my favourite city. Sure I found it romantic and beautiful but for a long time it was edginess that I looked for in a city, as well as beauty. But I've changed my tune and with each visit I become more enamoured with it's style and plain attention to detail.Take for example this Croque Monsieur. It's so much more than just a 'toasted sandwich'. There's no messing about with it. It's goodness shines through.
Incidently this, believe it or not, was my first Croque Monsieur and it was a goodie.
Ohlala, c'est si joli.
ReplyDeleteI would never look at a croque monsieur the same way...
but not your last i'll bet :)
ReplyDeletethat looks amazing!
ReplyDeletei bet it tasted extra fine while sitting on those maroon upholstered chairs!
wonderful post mary!
ReplyDeletei love croque monsieur, when i went to paris for the first time that is the very first thing i ate there :)
It's 10:33 a.m. and the last of those lovely photos has just made me hungry! It looks delicious. Is that a rocket salad? Rocket is all the rage here, but I find it too bitter. That's a pretty water jug too.
ReplyDeleteooh, i love croque monsieurs! yum yum
ReplyDeleteGorgeous soft light and atmosphere. I almost feel like I'm in Paris again.
ReplyDeleteI to never understood what the big deal with paris was, lol and still don't, but that croque monsieur has my mouth watering.
ReplyDeleteyou are so right about Paris. It also happened to me... now I look forward to each of my two a year travels to this beautiful city. Each time something new to discover. Love the croque monsieur!!!!
