I must be the only person who visited Paris for a week, ate insane amounts of caramel au beurre salé , smeared salted butter on everything imaginable and still lost 5 pounds. Where did all that caramel go? I’ve spent a small fortune on those caramels and I’ve got nothing to show. I melted just like the mango passion fruit caramels at Denise Acabo’s shop did in my mouth. Maybe I should move to Paris, too.

Actually, I know why… See those granite paving stones above? I walked on those lovely stones day and night. 9 am to 9 pm, everyday for 7 days, almost always on a sugar high with a 10-pound backpack (camera, lenses, caramels au beurre salé, chocolate, more caramel au beurre salé…).  And you know what else? I still couldn’t finish visiting all the places on my list.

I’ll tell you all about my delicious adventures later in the week. Until then, here are some photos I took during my trip – after the jump. Enjoy!
