Sunday and some macaroons

Jardin des Plantes

An entrance to Place des Vosges

On Sunday, before heading to Sacré-Coeur, Doug and I walked around Place des Vosges and then headed down to a lovely park named Jardin des Plantes.  Although it was a cloudy day, it was still beautiful to walk along the Seine down to the park.  I was also surprised to see the amount of people that were roller blading along the river.  The park had various little museums and exhibits, but my favorite part about it was that in the southern part of it there was a little hill that had a labyrinth leading to a gazebo that looked out on the cute Parisian apartments.

After strolling around the park for a little while, we made our way to Pierre Hermé, a macaroon shop.  Doug and I got a little pack of four macaroons to share.  I picked one that had dark chocolate and raspberry and then another that was marrón.  Doug picked coffee and rose (he liked it but I think that the chocolate flavors are much better).  They were so cute all packaged up in their little bag and everyone in the shop was so nice, definitely worth the stop!
