On Sunday, Sab, Mirai and I went to my favourite pâtisserie, Le Papillon! I haven’t been there in ages, because its a little out of the way but I love their cakes and pastries as my Mother always used to buy my birthday cakes from there (my favourite being a chocolate honeycomb gâteau!) and sometimes she would bring me the little tarts with their icing sugar butterflies as a special treat.
It was just as I remembered it, a little bit old but warmly decorated in blue and apricot provincial style. Sab snapped some quick photos of the place, to record our visit and we all spent ages looking at the cakes and tarts and sweet pastries and trying to decide what to order. In the end Mirai and Sab had chocolate and lime tarts and I ordered a croissant stuffed with apple and custard. We also had hot chocolate and chai and all tried a bite or two of each other’s desserts!
After our little afternoon tea we went to visit my Mother’s gallery and look at the new work she has in. There were some quirky sculptures and huge ceramic pieces, we also checked out the cafe next door and they had lots of delicious looking cakes too, so I think we’ll have to go back there some time! The rest of the afternoon we spent antiquing and giving Sab a Princess Makeover, you’ll hear all about that soon!
All of these gorgeous photos were taken by Sab of sabatomic.com, check out her blog!
Bon Appétit!

The photos are amazing! The desserts look divine as well. What a charming place!
I love your new style on your blog! So many nice pictures to enjoy! Wonderful!
I’m glad you had a fun time! It’s so nice to find new delicious things to eat. Those butterfly little cupcakes look darling!
Oh, is your mom an artist? That’s amazing!
You look beautiful, too ♥
What a lovely and charming shop! ♥
The desserts are so well presented (and the apple/custard croissant sounds absolutely divine).
I need to go there sometime… we have friends who live just down the block from Le Papillon but one of them has a wheat allergy so obviously we’d never go there with her… ^^;
The little butterfly tarts look lovely though and I’d love to try the lime tart! I think lime tarts may be my favourite pastries. ^^
What lovely tarts. where is La Papillon? If you don’t mind me asking
Everything looks just so wonderful! I wish there was a place like that around my area. The cafe it self is beautiful and then the tarts and pastries were even better.
The tarts look too cute to eat and your croissant looks delicious! This post makes me want to go to a pâtisserie with my friends. ^_^
