Postcards from Vienna to Paris, with Love

Bois de Boulogne papillon
Oh well, I'm lying.
What's a girl to do when she falls in love
with a butterfly? **

Hermès Boutique
Am Graben 22

For my shopping expeditions to Hermès, **
I like to take the Blue Coach:
Great stowage space.
A pity, Louis Vuitton, ** over at Kohlmarkt 6,
can be accessed only on foot
(how rude! Let's hope they hand deliver my trunk!!)

Tea Light Macarons
Fit for a Ladurée Box? **

Crawfish Tramezzino
Zum Schwarzen Kameel **
Bognergasse
Crawfish speak French in my book.
New Orleans French, that is.

Plus:
Who would not love a restaurant
that keeps such pretty flowers on the tables?
Even on their kitchen window sills! **

May I point out,
that even though I found them in Rome, **,
my sunglasses are from Paris?
It's not easy, escaping the French!


Agent Provocateur
Tuchlauben
I almost broke the window glass,
to find the right angle to be able
to bring you this image,
without running the risk of being arrested being censored. **

Demel's
Kohlmarkt
Everybody knows
that the croissant was invented in Vienna, non?
For this post, I'll let them pass
as Parisians. ;-)

Le Parfum
Petersplatz 3
ANNICK GOUTAL
Les Nuits d'Hadrien

Clicking on the underlined words,
marked with asterisks,
will bring you more tales.
At your own risk, though. :-)
