Today is my day off. This morning I walked down the hill to buy a baguette and then came back up the hill on the other side. The whole trip took me 30 minutes. The weather has been really great here for days now. There are flowers in bloom everywhere.
Yesterday we made macarons for the first time at the shop and of course more croquants. We make croquants every day. They are the specialty of Cordes. They are really crispy airy almond cookies. They are very good. We make them at our shop and they get sent to Yves Thuries shops all over the world. The shop sells chocolates and cakes and other pastries and confections. The photo attached on the top of the post is the kitchen where I work. The other photo is a bag of croquants. I will take a close up photo soon.
Saturday afternoons are the busiest tourist times. The cafes fill up at lunch on the weekends. There is a little train that will bring you up the hill for 2.5 Euros. It is pretty funny but very helpful. The hill is steep. We are on top of a hill that is located in a valley, so you can't see the town until the last minute. It's truly beautiful.
two questions: when are you sending me cookies and when am i coming to eat some on the hill?
