Parisian streets

My trip was nearly finished, but I had a little bit of extra time in Paris before heading home.
The streets of Paris are exceptionally beautiful, and I find it enjoyable to just walk around.  Maya wanted to go to some markets in the city to buy some groceries, so I followed,  We bought a whole range of different vegetables, saucisson, pates.  All of the things you would expect to buy in a nice Parisian market.
Before we left, Maya wanted to get some dessert for dinner.  She took me to a patisserie called "Aux Merveilleux de Fred".  The patisseries specialised in merveilleux cakes, delicate little meringue cakes that were covered in cream.  We bought a box home for after dinner that night.
The weather was cold outside and as we left, we also decided to buy a loaf of chocolate brioche that had just come of the oven.  I sat in the car as Maya drove home with the warm loaf in my lap, slowly pulling out pieces to eat.
