my travels through the 'Wild West' made me forget about French treasures?No way. When the sign above the door - in an old but still glamorous downtown Boise, Idaho hotel - said LA VIE EN ROSE......................
...................I was up the marble steps in a flash. On entering the prettiest cafe, decorated with genuine French chandeliers, furniture, and mahogany and glass patisserie display cases...............
..........old French metal headboards as wall art...........
...............and the best pastries ever!!!!!
Jasmin's lemon bar, yummy.
My raspberry almond brioche..........quite honestly the best pastry I've eaten anywhere.Vive la France!!
Off to the airport this afternoon - coming home. Had a great trip and will show you more later. Thanks for following us through the West these past two weeks.

I have left an award for you on my blog, please nip across and collect it.
ReplyDeleteI have actually been to Boise, but not that place! My niece did treat me to a wonderful luncheon tea at a shop in Meridian. It was called something like the English Tea Shop. I should send you photos - I think you would find them hilarious. We were trying to look like "English tea ladies" with hats, long dresses and all.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe such a place exists in Boise!! And you actually thought it was the best brioche anywhere?????!!! YOU??? Who has been to France many times???
ReplyDeleteOne more reason for me to go West.
