My mom lived in Paris for 9 years with her parents and siblings, so they were all very opinionated about which pastries I should draw for this project. My mom loves macarons, my granny's favorite is the religieuse, my aunt (and I) chose the pain au chocolat, etc... But top honors go to the tarte aux framboises, which made it onto everyone's list. 

FYI: The most unusual treats I included -- des calissons -- aren't really pastries. They're an almond & melon based sweet my mom and I fell in love with one day while exploring the town of Aix-en-Provence in the South of France. That was over 10 years ago, but I can still remember them so distinctly! 

I hope I get to go back to France one day... and not just for dessert. :)

hi, loving this new calendar! I, too, have spent time in France ( a lot of it with my face pressed against the display cases of patisseries!) and all these yummies speak to me. I also really like your color combo.
