Christina and I are at it again! For our first day trip of the school year we drove to Metz. Although we've been there numerous times, it is one of our favorite destinations. We weren't looking for exploration with this trip, just time to have a proper catch-up after the summer holiday. We shopped, both looking for boots, had a leisurely lunch and ended with a stop at an Algerian bakery.
This was a huge highlight for me. The pastries were so beautiful, the shop so quaint and the owner and his kids were friendly. We each selected 4 pieces to take home. Just like a child, I went for color and shape. It didn't occur to me until later than Eva wouldn't be able to eat any of the treats as they were all inundated with nuts. The owner gave us each a honey soaked pastry on our way out the door. A delicious ending to a great day.

How fabulous! The colours and shapes are amazing.
Pretty! Does that mean the cookies were brought out after the kiddos were in bed. Decadent!
Hmmm, you seem to be using your schoolday time in a much better way than I do! Maybe when you get back we can go on fun outings, but they may not be quite so charming and interesting!
Oh yum. Those pastries look divine. I'm trying not to be jealous.
Wow. So gorgeous!
Can you remember where it was - address or rough location? I wanted to pop in next time I was in Metz...
