Vandermeersch Boulangerie: Paris, France
For our honeymoon, my husband and I decided on an active trip to Europe instead of lounging on the beach in the Caribbeans. Adventure, sightseeing, photo sessions galore, with a foodie journey itinerized from Paris, France to San Sebastian, Spain, to Barcelona, Spain is what I call a honeymoon! We arrive at 7 in the morning, way too early for check-in but I knew that we would be okay in killing time because the famed Boulangerie across the street, Vandermeersch, would be selling their kugelhopfs ( kougloff) , which they only sell from Fridays-Sundays. We leave our bags at Hôtel de la Porte Dorée located in the 12th arrondisement (far from the center of the city, I know) and fast pass across the street. We enter the bakery, manage to form words in our mouth that sound something like bonjour , and point hungrily at the individual sized kugelhopf, which looks sort of like a souffle'd bundt cake. deux, merci! We know it's rude to eat in public so we walk around with this bag fi
