Rue d'Aligre - un café

Rue d'Aligre

Taken on a busy market day (Marché d;Aligre), 

there is scant room for café table and chairs.  

Still, the pastries and a coffee (or thé) can be enjoyed 

as the market vendors shout out the quality of their wares.

One thinks that the price of the coffee and pastry is small 

for this front row theatre seat.

La Ruche à Miel

La Ruche à Miel is a restaurant and salon de thé with a window view of the busy Marché d'Aligre.  It is a regular Sunday morning stop, a quiet moment with un café before stepping back into the cacophony of the marketplace,

vendors shouting out the virtues of their produce, each trying to outdo the next.

I would invite you to stop a moment with me to enjoy the honey-laced pastries but it appears that someone has eaten them both... Perhaps it was Oskar!

I did get a photo first...

Two chicks and a dozen eggs

Among the fine chocolates and cellophane-wrapped treats,

this window also displayed some decorated eggs with a handmade touch. 

The windows were full of feathered chicks as well.

I wondered if the eggs were hollow shells and if not,

would they survive in the week until Easter.

Une question...

Puis-je l'obtenir en rouge?

(Can I get it in red?)

Zoom-zoom!
