I didn't know you're not...Truly worth the scolding! I didn't know you're not allowed to take photos inside Laduree (I've seen plenty of others; maybe who weren't caught or who were similarly scolded). Thanks for the 411; I'll remember to forget (worth the scolding!), for the next time I find myself inside this bastion of baked goods ... Which will be in the spring of 2010 (and not a moment too soon).<BR/><BR/>I have my own little Laduree story, too. In the spring of 2005 I was there with a friend to celebrate my 30th birthday. Having taken French for six years, I feel comfortable speaking; even though my studies were eons ago, at this point. Anyway, I approached the counter with confidence and ordered "une tarte <I>Citroën</I>, s'il vous plaît" by mistake. The ladies behind the counter had a good laugh and I immediately realized my error and said, "Mais non, non! Une tarte au <I>citron</I>, bien sûr."<BR/><BR/>In the event you don't speak French and get the joke, a <I>Citroën</I> is a brand of car and <I>citron</I> is lemon.<BR/><BR/>Ha. Ha. Ha.<BR/><BR/>Anywho, thanks for posting a comment on your photo and I'm so glad you like my blog. See you again, soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582554851711221954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487426117402993809.post-19342743071386998432008-11-30T14:06:00.000-08:002008-11-30T14:06:00.000-08:00I'm glad you like this image & glad you po...I'm glad you like this image & glad you posted it because it led me to your fantastic blog! <BR/><BR/>I took these photo's at the Laduree on the Champs Elysees in May of 2007. My mom and I went to Paris for a week and we were lucky enough to be there at the same time as a huge Marie Antoinette Exhibit at the Grand Palais. After the amazing exhibit, we walked to Laduree for lunch- and pastries & macaroons of course. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to take photos, but these shots were worth the scolding. <BR/><BR/>Between the exhibit and our lunch at Laduree, that day was the highlight of our trip for me. <BR/><BR/>I'll be reading your blog! And I'll be back in Paris in May of 2009 so watch for more photos...<BR/><BR/>Whitney (w_a_b)Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639323130988578255noreply@blogger.com
