^ a delicious slice of pear and almond tart

today ends my week in paris, and it seems that a theme has developed: walking, food, and fashion. yesterday we took the metro across paris to hunt down the perfect coat for emma, and decided to walk back with the incentive of a viennese pastry shop along the way. as our our poor feet trudged up to the shop, we found it closed. alas. at this point we would not settle for a random brasserie with mediocre cake or a long queue at starbucks for generic cookies. thus onwards we plowed, towards la maison des tartes. i’m sure it tasted better after our pastry pilgrimage. ★
