A TALL ORDER

The gâteau battu, is an amazing, traditional speciality from the Picardie coastal area. During its preparation this brioche, rich in butter and eggs, is beaten for a very long time to give it a light and airy texture. A tall cylindrical mould gives it the shape of a chef's toque. Often served at marriages and baptisms in the region, it's perfect for breakfast, too!

Expression

faire une brioche:  to blunder; in music, to hit a false note, stemming from the 15th century practice when theatrical musicians obliged those among them who committed musical errors to buy and share a brioche with the ensemble

ROSE BONBON

 If in need of a translation for the color rose bonbon, then look no further than this customized BMW.

THE WAY WE WERE

Iconic, vintage, and collectable

Yes, indeed, a Yellow Cab sits in curbside retirement at le New York, an American 

restaurant just on the edge of Versailles, in the neighbouring community of Le Chesnay.

Délicieusement rétro.
