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.

La femme et sa chien

Rainy day in Paris...

out for lunch with friends...

warm pink coat...

ah, Paris...

Who says it's a dog's life?

Un café et des cocktails

a colorful café

This terrasse on Rue de Turbigo, captured my attention first for the colorful café chairs, but the Cafés Richards cups were my favorite.  The mixture of colors and patterns remind me of the simple design and secondary colors of Fiestaware.  After the 2010 trip an artist friend, Carol Schiff, created this beautiful interpretation of the cups, a daily reminder of my Paris obsession.

La tête dans les nuages - Reflection

Not sure whether we have "our head in the clouds"

but we are all a bit "fragile"

Bon weekend!

Spotted in a vacant store window on Rue de Turbigo. The shop was being renovated and these "fragile" models had been covered and protected for the transformation.

To see more reflections, go to James' Newtown Area Daily Photo.

Chocolat chaud? Tu en veux?

Why does a stack of cups need to be photographed? I assure you that I do not know but the silly American took their photograph.

Can you see the name on the inside of the cups? "Cafés Richard" was founded by Henri Richard to offer the finest blends of coffee, roasted to perfection.
