"In Paris, everything looks like desserts," says designer Susan Hochbaum in her film/slideshow Pastry/Paris, in which she compares French pastries to compatible scenes and elements around Paris, whether its in form, color, or both. Now when you walk around this city of endless patisseries (hopefully buying treats along the way), you might see an éclair in a Metro sign, a cannelĂ© in a doorknob, or a slice of cake in a topiary garden.

Never thought of Parisian patisseries this way but it is very true!!! that and that the pastry called "Religieux" did look like a fat nun. Paris is itself a piece of art, everywhere you look.
