Picnic at Le Bon Marché

My first day in Paris was spent among many friends! And, although our dinner at Le Marché in the Marais had been delicious, the simple picnic we enjoyed for lunch outside Le Bon Marché absolutely knocked it out of the park!

Le Bon Marché is a giant, luxurious department store in Paris with everything from Jimmy Choos to giant gourment macaroons. We spent some time browsing the shoe department and made our way to the gourmet market. OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously could have, no WOULD HAVE spent all day here, but we were starving! We bought a couple things to share and enjoy in the nearby garden.

Perfect picnic spot!


Yes, more ham. I think by the time i make it home, Jambon might be my favorite food! I think i've come a long way from Schärding! This cut of ham was extremely lean and delicious, but don't worry! The butter slathered over the baguette more than makes up for it! :)


We shared a fabuloso Shrimp Orzo with Pesto and Veggies!


And, after a quick, successful, happy experience at Longchamp (A-hem! Lol) we made our way down to my gf's sweet apartment near the Eiffel Tower. How gorgeous is this??


And, she is growing peppers!!


I conked out for a nap, and she surprised me with the perfect afternoon snackie: THREE pastries to try. Pistachio, Chocolate Pear, and Almond. Yum, yum, and yum!!


Her fave:


Served with tea. The perfect day!
