This is one of the 'bestest best' baker-pâtisseries in town, close to Rive Droite train station which unfortunately isn't the station where most tourists alight from Paris trains (where they do, they are greeted by Mc Donald's, Starbucks and soon to open KFC). As you can see, there can be quite a queue at lunchtime at Bigot! VDP messed up the cake shot, sorry, her excuse is that it was a day of medical exams, but is sure you'll get the gist of things...
L'une des meilleures boulangeries-pâtisseries en ville, à côté de la gare rive droite, c'est Bigot ! VDP a raté ses photos des gâteaux avec pour seule excuse que c'était un jour d'examens médicaux et de grosse fatigue...
Macaroons on cakes. Macaroons by themselves. Macaroons everywhere! I've never seen so many. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the cakes all look scrumptious! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I love about France, and there are many, are the bakers, freshly baked bread all day ....wonderful..
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteBilingual confusion. You know the meaning in English, of course. Is it a family name in French?
ReplyDeleteJ'espère qu'une petite pâtisserie a su relever le moral des troupes.
ReplyDeleteFrench cakes are works of art. RWC, - clash of the titans today however I think NZ will do it, but my support will be for Argentina tomorrow. Whilst they are the underdogs they're so passionate and to have progressed this far is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYummy.Sorry for you, you seem to be a quite sick person.
ReplyDeleteI remember that McDonald's but you'll be pleased to know we didn't go in :) J'adore your first image Ciel, would be a brilliant advertising posterfor Bigot. The cakes look divine!
ReplyDelete@ Bob: same meaning and yes, it's probably a family name.
ReplyDeleteI could have spent time and money in there....
ReplyDeleteYour first and last photo in this posting are my favourites.
Happy weekend!
(I hope you are feeling better and got help from your doctor.)
un éclair au café ça me tente vraiment !
ReplyDeleteThese images are nefarious and offensive to my diet!
ReplyDeleteThat looks way too delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis beats McDonald's any day! Yum!
ReplyDeleteGlad I read the post. Bigot in English has an entirely different meaning.
ReplyDeleteThere is no place more sweet and inviting than a good bakery. Fine photos. Your last pastry photo reminds me of the art work of Wayne Thiebaud who was famous for his paintings of cakes. You both use similar composition.
ReplyDeleteYou are making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteHear me out. Since you are the recipient of undesirable american fast food chains , I think the only fair and reasonable thing to do is to have Bigot open a spot in the Chalfont train station; it's the perfect compromise.
ReplyDeleteMcDonalds, KFC--why do we export the worst of our culture, she asks grumpily!
ReplyDeleteYou do like to tempt your readers, don't you? :)
