So we're in November and the first of the month is Theme Day in the City
Daily Photo blogging community. Ephemeral is this month's theme. Some of you probably remember the fabulous biscuits and sweets shop La Varenne which VDP had shown you just after its opening in May. Well, these little meringues, which would have been served at the table of kings and queens at the palace (the recipe is the one of François Pierre de la Varenne's cookbook dated 1651), are the ancestors of macarons. They did not last long yesterday! So so ephemeral... Oh and the shots below are better views of the inside of the shop, because VDP had kind of messed up the moon in the May post! To view all takes on the theme, click here and happy November (and Allsaints today) everyone!
Nous voilà en novembre, miz du
(le mois noir en breton). Le premier du mois est jour de thème dans la
communauté des blogueurs City Daily Photo à laquelle appartient VDP, et
le thème ce mois-ci, c'est "éphémère". Quoi de plus éphémère que ces biscuits de sucre en neige de chez La Varenne, l'inventeur de saveurs, que VDP vous présentait juste après son ouverture en mai dernier. Ces petites meringues sont les ancêtres des macarons, dont la recette a été puisée dans le livre "le cuisinier françois" de François Pierre de la Varenne, édité en 1651 et elles n'ont pas fait long feu chez VDP hier. Les photos ci-dessous sont de meilleures vue du fond de la boutique, dont VDP avait raté la prise de vue dans le billet de mai. Pour voir les interprétations du thème dans le monde entier, cliquez ici ! VDP vous souhaite un bon miz du et une bonne journée de Toussaint !
DEE-lectable. :-)

Perfect for the theme and the shop looks super, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! I would happily settle for a macaron and can guarantee it wouldn't last long. Love your moon and window shots.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure in my hands they would be very ephemeral - tres delicieux and what a fabulous little patisserie
ReplyDeleteLove the macarons and the look of the lollies.
ReplyDeleteLove all these photos.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy beginning of the new month.
True ... tastes and smells are also ephemeral! Your post evoked some great memories
ReplyDeleteUn grand coup de coeur pour ton avant dernière image!
ReplyDeleteYummie!
ReplyDeleteThey would be ephemeral at our house as well!
ReplyDeleteje ne sais pas si je résisterai 6 mois devant ces petites meringues fondantes et craquantes...

ReplyDeleteSo tasty! I can understand well why they wouldn't last for long!
ReplyDeleteOne sweet moment is all they would have survived with me Ciel :) delicious ephemeral moment!
ReplyDeletePerfect choice for the theme. They would have only lasted a moment at my house. That display is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe same here with us in Stavanger; they would not have lasted for long.... :-)
ReplyDeleteI would have to take special precautions to stay away from this place! Yikes! I gained five pounds just looking at your photos. And my weight gain is not ephemeral!
ReplyDeleteClever interpretation. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteGenial!
ReplyDeleteGreat, this is deliciously ephemeral!
ReplyDeleteStuart hat mir die Worte von der Zunge genommen :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that is one example of ephemeral we all would like to be part of the disappearing act!
ReplyDeleteA very creative choice! Most sweets are ephemeral once they come into contact with me. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery tempting, Ciel!
ReplyDeleteThey look like they will melt in your mouth.
ReplyDeleteI would like to test them!
ReplyDeleteA childhood dream come true ! Willie Wonka eat your heart out. :-)
ReplyDeleteChoix gourmand pour le thème!
ReplyDeleteHow could they last long? They look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYes, these little meringues don't last very long. Ephemeral.
ReplyDeletePleasure is transitory but it may also be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMagical... and tasty!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteI should not be reading this so close to lunch. Ephemeral indeed.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful and enticing!
ReplyDeleteyum.
