high tea for two (Love in the City of Lights)

One reason I love when my mom comes to Paris to visit is that I get to spoil her. I spend months in preparation, planning all sorts of events, exhibitions, eating experiences, etc. This year I thought I’d surprise her with a mother/daughter high tea. Where better than at the Four Seasons George V?

Upon entering this ethereal setting, we were taken with Jeff Leatham’s stunning floral compositions.

My mom and I were in our element, both of us favoring sweet over savory.

We began our indulgent afternoon with one of Lucien Gautier’s fruitful masterpieces.

Is there anything better than French pastries with champagne to compliment?

How happy I was to spend such a memorable afternoon with my mom, and in such sweet splendor!
