A blogs' friends' gang in Paris

No there was not some kind of "bloggers" meeting yesterday, but a blog's friends' meeting! Which is completely different! ;-)

I first joined Mahie at Montparnasse. We've been blog's friend for a year maybe. Got on instantly very well! So amazing!
Then we joined Martin.
Came across lovely Dita, and had the huge pleasure of meeting Jenny!
Then we sat for a beer, well 2 actually, and started to share lots of giggles all together, that was really a precious moment!


Mahie, Jenny, I and Martin


the girlzzz (from Martin's perspective! he's ermm TALL! lol)

Then it was time to join the star of the evening, I mean Benoit! Yeeehaaaaa!!
We arrived at Saint-Michel at the same time as a fookin storm! Thunder and rain welcome us! Martin and Mahie courageously ran under heavy showers while Jenny and I waited just near :P

That was funny to meet each other while the elements around us were getting crazy (still thunder, more rain, more wind!)
We quickly joined a restaurant and I've had a most wonderful time there; everybody seemed relaxed and happy to be there. A gang of old friends, nothing less!

Benoit was in great shape and having a really good time in Paris :)
I did not expect to see him looking so well after the awful year he's had, that was another great surprise: feeling he was recovering pretty well!

We talked about everything, including physics (eeeck!) or food (phewww!)

Talking of food, it was really good! We had fois-gras, terrine de saumon, gaspaccho, chèvre chaud, blanquette, fois de veau, tartare, salmon, entrecôte, crème brûlée, fondant au choc, etc! Yuuumm!

Here are a few pics, not good enough I fear:


Martin and Benoit (talking cams), and in the middle: a bottle of delicious red wine from Vendée :)


Mahie discovering the pics Benoit had taken earlier


2 most charming creatures :P Mahie and Jenny !


Benoit, the Vendée's bottle, and Mahie :)

Later we went on le Pont Neuf to enjoy Paris by night (beauDiful)


And then it was really time ... for another drink!

I came back home with sore feet, but so happy to have met Jenny, Mahie and Benoit! That confirms totally that friends you make on blogs are already friends for real. You already know them, their life, etc. There can't be any bad surprise. Fantastic!

(happy sigh)

PS: Isa & Benoit, I've just tried the maple flakes!

Dellllicious!
Too early to try the ice cider, but will do too! :P
