Un café?

This small coffee shop

was a bit tattered with its fading blue exterior,

but the single barista supplied the customers with hot coffee.

The shop had no name and roughly painted white lettering

for the service hours.

Café chairs

in black and red

When I think about the café chairs in Paris, I can close my eyes and feel the weave of the seat as I settle in, the sounds they make as you shift your weight, and the warmth of the webbing on a cool day.

If you let your imagination run, you will hear the French conversations, the sounds of the Café Richards cups and saucers, and the smells of fresh croissant, pain au chocolat, and rich coffee.

When you cannot be in Paris, a creative mind can give you a few moments of memory and anticipation.

Un café crème et un chocolat chaud

When two blog friends from different countries 

get together in Paris on a cold, misty day...

of course they take a break with pastries, 

warm beverages, many photos, and great conversation.

Le Zinc d'Honorée

Bistro, Brasserie, Terrasse, Café...

Food was reasonably priced... good, but not outstanding...

chipper service, some local patrons, one was with us.

Am I mistaken or is that a Coca Cola sign?
