Could anything be more delicious?

I don’t think so, and   Carol Gillott  agrees.

Carol is not only an Artistic Hound…..

 

she’s a Macaron Hound.

I’m almost certain she has a Masters in Ladurée,

 

 

 with a minor in Fauchon…

That is why I eat up every word & image on Carol Gillott’s blog  Paris Breakfast.

 

 

 

 

Carol’s venture into the world of Pets, food  & Paris began at a young age.

  

  

  

  

The Dog lover grew up with a French Poodle named Pumpkin.

More recently, Carol had a Belgian Sheepdog named Rudi.

  

  

  

He spoke French fluently: 

 

 

• Va chercher!  (Go get it!)
• Donne la patte.  (Give us your paw.)  
• Viens vite!  (Come quickly!)

The Artistic Hound works like a Dog:

  

  

• Carol travels to Paris 4 times a year
• Stays for weeks
• Snaps thousands of photos for inspiration
• Enjoys the sweet life of patisseries & chocolatiers.

 

 

Yep, Carol Gillott has a ruff life. 

  

  

  

She is a card-carrying-member of the café society.

• The Food Channel
• Valrhona Chocolate
• The Russian Tea Room
• The James Beard Foundation

Looking for a special gift, a reader of Carol’s blog contacted her to create a custom watercolor of his sister’s Dogs in Paris.

 

 

Carol was sent a blurry photograph to work with.

 

 ”Take Your Dogs to Paris” was born.

Never been to Paris?  Not a problem, you can send your Dog there.

  

  

  

There’s no need for a Pet passport for your Dog.

 

 

You simply send Carol a Pet  photograph, and you’ll recieve a sweet watercolor.

 

 

 

 

Ladurée is a favorite background…

Of course, the cafés are always something to bark about, Dogs are welcome there.

Fashion Hounds prefer perfumeries or Hermés for their Dogs…

How can a Dog go wrong anywhere Paris?
