After the kitten ... the turtle !

After the two-headed kitten, here is the two-headed turtle !

It is born in San Antonio Zoo (Texas) the 18 June.

Go out in Paris this week end

Here there !

Some ideas about your get together this week end in Paris.

Like everybody know it's the sales in France. But I hate to do shopping especially when it's the sales, too much people, you have to wait a lot of time in order to see if the clothes suit you ! So boring haha.

So let's see some more interesting plans :

From 29 june to 07 July it's the Jazz Festival in "La Défense" you can go there with the line 1 or RER A. It's not so far and it's free !
La Défense is a business district near Paris. There are a lot of buildings there and a huge mall with a lot of shops and a huge parvis. And it's there that it's going to be the festival.

So here is the program :

• Today : 20h : Ibrahim Maalouf + Salif Keita
• Monday 1 July : 12h : Kellylee Evans + Otis Taylor
• Tuesday 2 July : 12h : The Heliocentrics + Birth of Joy
• Wednesday 3 July : 12 h : Vintage trouble + The soul rebels
• Thursday 4 July : 12 h : Gerry Lopez & Fro Trio + Medeski, Martin & Wood
• Friday 5 July : 12 h : Rusconi + Francesco Bearzatti "Monk'n'roll"
• Saturday 6 July : 20 h : Shai Maestro Trio + Chick Corea & The virgil
• Sunday 7 July : 20 h : St Lo + Elektro Guzzi +  Birdy Nam Nam 

Some of these shows seem very very nice ! I hope to have time and go there for once !



The other event is "Play me I'm yours" : in order to have more information here is the facebook page.

I saw one of the pianos which are in Paris near the Opéra. Look :

People can play as they want. It is a very nice idea.

Crazy parrot !!!

Hi there !

Remember ! in a post about the bread festival in Paris, I said to you that I walked about 20 km !! so crazy..

And it was around the 9 May (FYI it's the Europe day), so the Hôtel de Ville of Paris (City Hall of Paris) looked different : flags...
By the way, the weather looked different too haha

But the most attractive 'thing' was the PARROT !! 

It was so crazy haha. I have a picture I like a lot (it's the second one)

SO CRAZY ! haha

Enjoy life

Today I am thinking about a lot of things. And sometimes life is not so easy as we can think.

If you are happy with a person show it.
Life is so short and unfair ! Show interests for people who care about you.
Enjoy the life and try to not have regrets.


Here is a sad but beautiful song

Cellphones ...

Hi there !

This is a French page but you just have to watch the pictures. It's about the cellphone in some persons life. They can't do anything without it : they have to text when they are with friends, at a date, at the cinema ... Sometimes it is very ridiculous !

Judge by your self on click here

Think about the real relationship with people and don't disrespect your friends when you are with them in answering all the time to your sms... :D

New flavors of Macaron from Lenôtre

Hi there !

The other day, I was in Paris with a friend and we saw the shop "Lenôtre".
The first shop was opened in Paris in 1957. This company is founded by Gustave Lenôtre.

Here is the macaron I bought :

The flavor is strawberry with basil. When I was reading the flavor, I didn't want to try this one but I found it very beautiful. 

So I decided to taste it. And I wasn't disappointed; yes it's little weird but it's worth it !

There are other new flavors like : apricot with lavanda, lemon with jasmine. Maybe I will taste its later :)

See you !

Poor kitten :s

This video deals with a kitten which was born with 2 heads in the USA.
The name of the kitten is Duecy. It was rejected by its mother !

During 11 days (from 10th June to 21th June), the Great Palace (Grand Palais in French) which is located on the Champs Elysées is going to create a cinema !

There will be the best drive-in never organized in Paris !
It could be nice to see a movie there ^^

The Great Palace is going to share in 4 areas : movies, food, game and clubbing.

One of the best "Macaron" of the world !

Hi there !

The other day, I bought some macarons from "La durée".

If one day, you come to Paris you have to buy macaron from there, they are very very good ! 

History : 

In 1862, Louis Ernest Ladurée created a bakery in Paris.

9 years later there was a fire and the bakery was moving in a pastry shop.

Jules Chéret decorated the new shop and painted angels on the shop. You can find this angel on the green bag when you buy something there.

At the begining of the 20th century, Pierre Desfontaines who is the second cousin of Louis Ernest Ladurée created the macaron. He decided to join two macaron shells with a ganache.

Macaron are made every morning, they are waiting 48 hours before putting them on sales.

Which each new season, Ladurée creates a new flavor.

Some pictures :

I bought different flavors : strawberry candy, chocolate coconut, yuzu ginger, raspberry, vanilla, pistachio and caramel with salted butter.

In my opinion, the best flavors of macarons of Ladurée are pistachio and raspberry :)

Every each little macaron costs 1.85E. It's little expensive, but it's really worth it !!! Trust me :)
