0 C'est le 1er Mai!

 C'est le 1er Mai!
 What better combination than Martine Lambert fraises/strawberry ice cream + a sprig of lilly of the valley/muguet?
 It's tradition.
Shop owners give you a sprig of muguet on 1 mai I got this at patisserie Jean Millet where I bought a citrony sable/cookie.
 Everyone walks around clutching a sprig or bouquet...
 On the bus
 Much muguet...
 In fact all Paris is scented with sweet muguet aromas.
You just breath in...
At florist Eric Chauvin, the creme de la creme of muguet bouquets.
 His vendeuse wears such a pretty bow on her shoulder - so French!
 Traditionally the chocolate shops sell briefly choco pots de muguet
 Put a bird on your pot de muguet at La Petite Chocolatiere
 La Mere du Famille displays their new book as well...
 I went looking for Dior's muguet and found instead lush perfume Caron.
 I could have stayed all day dreaming in front of their windows on Avenue Matignon...
 Ah...the smell of it...
 Even Mariage Freres has a lily of the valley tea!
 Signs in the Metro tell you to GET OUTSIDE in the fresh air!!!
 Yesterday was glorious in Paris.
Everyone was out getting the fresh air.
(how many ladybugs in this picture?)
How was your 1er Mai?
