Weekend in Paris is a bonus series for paid subscribers—it’s one part recap of my off-duty fun as a baking school student, one part dishing about (temporary) expat life. Bienvenue!
What goes up must come down! After a fabulous week at school, I woke up on Saturday feeling under the weather.
I cleared my schedule for the day: no long run, no indulgent apéro with classmates. My biggest accomplishment would have to be trudging two blocks to pick up takeout pad Thai from The Crying Tiger.
By Sunday, I was feeling well enough to leave my flat for longer periods of time, first grabbing some replacement Kleenex from Monoprix, then restocking my fridge at the open-air Marché Raspail. So I decided to go one step further and try a more fun outing, one I’d bought tickets for a few weeks earlier.
In today’s letter, you’ll find:
🥐 Some tasty research for my class’s final “creativity project,” and
👗 A jaw-dropping display of fashion as art.
