for me several bottles of olive oils, small jars of tepinade and mustard. for my wife the annick goutal perfume.

A print of french desserts that now hangs in my kitchen. I fell in love with the stationary stores in Paris and this one has all the types of pastries and petit fours lined up and labeled in French. Makes me hungry everytime I looked at it. And it was cheap.

-Tea towels with scenes of Paris that we stretched and framed with linen liner & coordinated frame

-Herbes de Provence in colorful provincial print cloth sacks purchased at the rotisserie on rue Buci (great w/free range chicken)

-Amandes aux Cognac (Almond flavored Cognac) purchased in a seedy liquor store at the bottom of rue St. Andre des Arts. Warmed & in a snifter...to die for! Still looking for an American outlet to replenish supply if anyone knows of one.

My fav purchases are Picasso posters from the museum. Just beautiful.
