BB Bakery: Parisian chic meets English excentricity

A few yards from the bustling crowd, through the quiet streets of Covent Garden or County Hall, an eye-catching display appears as a surprise to passers-by. In a modern Marie-Antoinette tearoom style, gorgeous bells hiding sweet marshmallows and splendid pyramids adorned with meringues, macaroons and flowers, immediately plunge the visitor into the refined and extravagant atmosphere of BB Bakery.

Politics

Are the French viscerally anti-libéral?

French people have a tendency to be especially critical of liberalism as a major cause of the economic crisis. Bank excesses, uncontrolled capitalism, dangerous deregulations, soaring unemployment, mounting social tensions and swelling public debt: all our woes seem to be caused by this vile Anglo-Saxon system. Yet rare are the French, if asked, that are against freedom of speech or low taxes. Liberalism is also a major part of our philosophical tradition even if it seems to have been progressively erased from our accepted thinking. To counter this generalised anti-liberalism, Génération Libre, a liberal think-tank launched in March 2013 is addressing issues such as the debt crisis, digital liberties and the status of civil servants. Its founder, Gaspard Koenig analyses France’s anti-liberalism and gives us perceptive insights into Génération Libre’s alternative solutions.

The lyrics of “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir” may suggest that French girls are rather easy to get, but when it comes to confronting the stereotype with reality, it seems there is nothing less straightforward. Why are French women so confusing to English men? FranceInLondon guides you into France’s apparently incomprehensible world of feminine seduction.
