La Petite Rose

La Petite Rose

La Petite Rose is perhaps one of my favorite quiet places for lunch with seating for about 8 people.  With a choice of two salads and a quiche, you will be delighted with the fresh selections.  On previous posts you have seen a sampling of their beautifully crafted pastries (here)  The chef is Miyuki Watanabe, a Japanese woman who was trained in Tokyo, came to Paris to work for Gérard Mulot, and then opened her own shop.  (merci Clotilde Dusoulier)

Oh, and the chocolates are divine!

Bressaï - Pour l'Amour de Paris exposition

Bressaï - For the Love of Paris exhibition

November 8, 2013 - March 8, 2014

This free exhibit at Hôtel de Ville is a delight for photographers and everyone who sighs at the romance of Paris.  Even in the first week of opening, the wait was less than 15 minutes on a weekday in November.

The Brassaï, Pour l'amour de Paris

exhibition tells the extraordinary

story of the passion that has united 

for more than 50 years Brassai, the

writer, photographer and moviemaker,

to every nook and cranny of Paris,

but also to intellectuals, artists,

great families, prostitutes and little rascals.

In short, to everyone who defines the

legend of Paris.  Paris remains indeed

in the heart of his reflection, the

governing theme of his work.
