oeufs au chocolat

I still haven't worked out why bunnies have chocolate eggs... the good thing is that I no longer have to worry, because in France it isn't the bunny that brings them, it's the bell. Go figure, so much simpler...

Either way, unleash the kids! There's chocolate to be eaten.  There are also goodies for the more observant, we had our own hunting to do. Morilles, the easter egg hunt, Jura style ;) yummy.




Spot the movie scene?

la plage

One forgets that there is a beach not so far from the sandstone jungle that is Paris. If one believes in evolution, then it must be a very young beach, the sand is still forming, right now the grains are still 5 centimetres. I guess it eliminates the problem of getting sand in your jocks.


The cliffs around Etretat are pretty cool though, looks like a fun place to go kayaking.


Strolling on top made me think about the Cliffs of Moher, although nothing really similar not even a puffin. Cool place to be a gull though.



The only problem about living in Paris and going to the beach, is getting back to Paris. Here's a plan for the highway authorities (SAPN), open a few more lanes so it doesn't take so bloody long to pay your toll!
