After 8 years I am leaving the great City of Paris. So I thought how better to say goodbye to the City than to eat my last pain aux raisins and pain au chocolate in front of a great Paris icon. And I have certainly eaten a large quantity of pain aux raisins, pain au chocolate, croissants, chausson aux pommes, oranais and the list goes on and on. I think I averaged one of these a day Monday to Friday. So, if I ate 5 a week, for 52 weeks a year and for 8 years, then I ate at least 2080 Viennoiserie (666 432 calories). That is a lot of calories! Some at least burnt off running after a Metro. So, I leave Paris a bit wider than I arrived.
Off course my 8 years in Paris was more than just 2080 vienoiserie. So much more, but this is a blog about things to come and not what has passed. I am sad to leave friends behind from Fusac, CPI, Qualibris and more friends besides, but I know it is time to move on.
So, à bientôt Paris and thanks for all the pain aux raisins.

I don't think I'll be able to return to the Sentier Starbucks now... it will be too sad.
As a tribute to you, I will try to eat at least one pain aux raisins per day until you return to Europe!
Bonne Chance Dan!
