Le Grenier de Notre-Dame

Le Grenier de Notre-Dame

I eat enough vegetables and fruit to be a vegetarian but do eat

meat in moderation.  However, I can clear the table eating seafood.

Le Bistrot Paul Bert

Le Bistrot Paul Bert

Lumière du matin

Morning Light

So, is the light magical

in Paris or am I just so

enamored with Paris

that I overlook the ordinary?

Des acrobates - Café de la Paix

Acrobat chairs 

at Café de la Paix

Quite often the terrace seating is stacked

but these two chairs were giving a performance.

Paris in autumn

Café scene on the broad sidewalk

of Avenue Daumesnil...

Even the late afternoon sun has the

warm glow of autumn

Le Metivier et la vie quotidienne

Across from Père Lachaise

the tree-filtered sun on the terrace

leaves a lazy afternoon ambiance

as the week draws to an end...

bon week end

Un cafe de Paris

Although this is a simple terrace with empty chairs,

it personifies the amiable setting for a casual meeting among friends.

If it were possible to transport these chairs and table to my home terrace, 

do you think it would capture  the ambiance of Paris?

Cocktails ou Café?

Cocktails or Coffee?

The colored cups are not often seen in Paris, 

but these are Cafés Richard.

I would choose Cafés Richard over Starbucks for certain,

and I do wish that I had some of these colorful cups for coffee and tea.

Café sans fleurs...

Avenue Rapp

This charming little café/bistrot is ready

for our party.

We should have brought some of yesterday's flowers 

to perk it up a bit.

La Bocca - Il fait froid

La Bocca

brrrrr....

As you can see in the background, 

many of the Paris cafés have heaters 

and plastic framed terraces for the winter.  

This gentleman was writing, 

perhaps waiting for someone.

Ma Bourgogne - la terrasse en hiver

Ma Bourgogne

the terrace in winter

In the frigid temperatures of December,

this is how you enjoy the terrace at Ma Bourgogne

The heaters are quite toasty 

and the regular waiters greet you with a smile.

Rue de Castiglione - café

An empty café on an (almost) empty street...

just in view of the Colonne and Place Vendôme

In a few hours, the city will awake 

and these chairs will be full

Le Raspail - un café de la nuit

Le Raspail

Many of the Paris cafés are enjoyed much later 

than the Petits-déjeuners (breakfast) sign would indicate here.  

You may notice the "Vins & Bières" on the side window. 

As I recall, it was so late when this photo was taken 

that the only people on the premises were sweeping up 

before stacking the chairs and turning out the lights.
