Un petit passage

BILLTORNADE


Through open passageways one can walk into courtyards
and "visual opportunities" otherwise missed. 
In this instance, there was not even a cracked door to be pushed,
but the dark green doors beckoned us through.


The graceful curved steps at the end are the business offices of Bill Tornade. 
We only photographed and did not knock.

un chat orange?

Chat Noir Orange!

This very large orange cat was mirrored on the other side of a doorway 

by an equally large (and orange) chien (dog).

Based on the shopper in the store with the same hue of "persimmon,"

I am thinking that "orange" must be the new "black."

(Off to find my orange accessories!)

Gwen Choc - boulangerie

Gwen Choc

It is nearly impossible to find a "bad" boulangerie in Paris and each artisan boulangerie-patisserie has a loyal following.  The aroma of fresh bread wafts down the street and the lines form at the appointed hour...

Gwen Choc is a favorite in this area of the Marais.  My favorite neighborhood is Place Maubert and its Eric Kayser boulangerie...  be sure to ask for the Baguette Monge.
