Happy Bastile Day
Anne Fontaine, the French boutique of the classic white blouse, hosted a Bastile Day event. They had champagne, strawberries and French macarons! I love this store! I frequent the one at Rockefeller Center, on a regular basis, just to admire the classic designs and chat with store manager, Ileana, and her staff. I like going to shops where I can embrace the old fashioned shop keeper mood, and this one has it! (I wish shop doors all still had little ringing bells when you enter, too!)
I entered the Bastille Day contest of telling Anne Fontaine what my favorite French thing was, and I won some French macarons! Why is winning a prize just so much fun?! I MUST get my act together and have a give away on this site soon!
If you have never tasted a French macaron (which is nothing like our American coconut macaroon), you must try one!
So what is your favorite French thing?
