Uni and Big Top being over, today was my first day of vacation! Saying it was a beautiful day would be the understatement of the century :-)

I spent most of it with [livejournal.com profile] angeliksmall and her almost unbearably cute nephew. Program was : lunch + Christmas market at la Défense, then detour to Bercy Village where we visited some more shops before having a break at Starbucks. Then we had a little stroll in the park. After that, off to our respective homes we went. All in all, a great day was had :-)

Christmas markets are love, and the best stalls of all? Are the one with the food. I'm apparently in a very piscpammy mood these days because here are some pictures I took over there :


Ah, tartiflette. The meal of champions! If you're dieting or don't like cheese? Please not to ever be considering that particular dish. It's full of cheese and ham and more cheese and cream and it comes from the mountains and is meant to make you warm all over and fill your stomach to the fullest. Delicious... just not for the faint of hearts :-)


And a little dried meat fest with some yummy cheese in the background. Nothing artificial about those products, they all come from farms and stuff... and it all looks and smells like it! And the bread, look at the bread!


But maybe you like sugar best? In that case, those stalls might be more to your taste :-)


Hmm looks as good as it tastes, I'm sure!


I just love the way they put all the items on display, makes you want to buy them all :-)

And on fannish news, fandom gave me one of my Christmas wishes! I was dying to see a video of Brendon recording 20 Dollar Nose Bleed - well, I was dying to see anything related to Brendon recording that song - and what do I find on my flist but a video of just that! Oh, fandom, you make my dreams come true, I love you so ♥ ♥

Glad you liked the pics! Christmas markets are love, I'm not losing hope of ever going to a real one *fingers crossed*

Now I really want to go to a Christmas market! It all looks so yummy!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2008-12-26 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You and me both! I mean, so okay, those little Christmas markets in Paris are nice - I'm planning on trying the one on the Champs on Sunday - but I'm dreaming of going to a real one. Maybe next year!

I'm prepared to give it a try! ;p

Also...jambon...that's ham right? *desperately tries to remember some french*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2008-12-26 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
If you do come to Paris next year, I'll totally make you some :-)

Yes, ham = jambon, go you!

[identity profile] krazykipper.livejournal.com 2008-12-27 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yay, I remembered something French. *cheers*

I'll be there! I have three long weekend holidays planned next year, Scotland, Ireland and Paris. So I'll be there!!
