Seoul

In the Samcheong-dong neighborhood, I saw this whimsical mural on the side of a bakery—perfect for a Francophile Korean sweet tooth. I became a lover of macarons (not to be confused with macaroons) when I lived in Paris. I had no idea that the Korean capital would have such a love affair with these French pastries as well—available throughout the city! Bon appétit!

(To get these delicious treats, if you're in Seoul's Bukchon area, check out Palette Seoul, Jong-no-gu, Samcheong-dong, 39-beonji.)
