Paris Café

The familiar iron pedestals topped

with small rounds...

Rows of cafe chairs. Can you think

of a better place to be?

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.

Join me? 

Enjoy your weekend

At any café in Paris

At any café in Paris, your coffee will likely be served in a Cafés Richard cup.  

What is Cafés Richard you ask? 

They are a company whose fresh roasted beans

are delivered daily to Paris' cafés and restaurants. 

I have several Paris cups and Paris mugs,

but why have I never bought the cup so well-known to Parisians? 

I will be doing so this week if I can buy a single cup or two. 

This is called their Perle Noire Cappuccino Cup and Saucer. 

Perhaps I need the expresso, the black Florio design, the Richard Coffee Cup and Saucer with the logo... My carry-on may be a bit heavy on my return to the US.

Sunday morning - au Café

This dapper gentleman was enjoying his coffee, alone on a Sunday morning in the 12ième arrondissement...

Pain au chocolat -- Tu en veux?

By habit, a health-conscious breakfast eater it only takes me a nano-second to get into Paris mode with café au lait, pain au chocolat, pain au chocolat....

Did I mention.... pain au chocolat? (Oh, and I know that a Parisian would not have one of these for le p'tit déjeuner)

Have a great weekend, all!
