Dejeuner?

Lunch?

Hope that you have weekend plans

with friends.  Perhaps a tasty

quiche and salad?

Bistrot Victoires

This neighborhood bistrot/café is a favorite of mine.

Yes, the food is good and reasonable, nothing fancy, 

but it is not the food that makes it a favorite.  

...It is all the friends whose company I have enjoyed 

over the years as well as the staff and the charming ambiance

We need to meet again...

Bistrot Victoires - la couronne

Bistrot Victoires

The tall tiered pedestal on the bar of Bistrot Victoires displayed a gold paper crown, 

the regal spoils for the "king" who found the fève in a galette des rois.

I wonder what they did with the fève?

Yes, I am an obsessed collector

Bistrot Victoires avec mes amis

In our first hours in Paris, Holly and I met friends Peter,

Mary, and Virginia at Bistrot Victoires.

We plied our travel-weary selves with delicious tartines and Champagne.

As you can see from the menu, the tartines are made with Poilâne bread. 

It was delicious enough that Holly and I came back

later in the week with sweet friend, Isabelle.

They did not seem to mind the crazy people with cameras

snapping every corner, zinc bar, and cranny!
