I was strolling through my artist friend Shellsherree's great blog and stumbled on this delightful painting. I recognized the car and went straight to my photo stash to find my photo taken in front of Chez Julian. Located in the 4th ème, it is a lovely, if a bit pricey little restaurant. I fell in love with the car thinking I was just exceptionally fortunate to find it parked there. Apparently it's a part of the charm of Chez Julian. Either that, or Cali (whose photo sparked Shell's great artwork) and I both got very lucky!

Oh wow, Virginia {and thank you}! It's wonderful to see the close-up of the car ~ what a beauty, hey?! You and Cali both captured a gorgeous scene!
Kismet!
The car is what caught my eye also. I have seen photos of Chez J online without the car in front, but I suspect those are flukes. I have to agree with you: we both got very lucky! :-)
Cali,
We sure did get lucky. Now I wish Peter and I had stopped for yet another glass of wine that day and enjoyed the view! I think I pressed my nose against the window and had a look inside! :)

Chez Julian must be a chain. We ate at the Chez Julian in Toulouse. It wasn't all that expensive.
How did I come across your blog in the first place? Probably through Shell. At any rate, I'm enjoying it very much!
Alexa,
Welcome and please return,
Starman,
Don't even mention the word....chain! :))
Shell,
de rien!
Daryl.
Could a trip to Paris be in our future???
Not a chain, but I believe that Chez Julien belongs to a family (Costes) who has also some others around...., maybe ten in Paris!
... yes Virginia, another glass of wine on a terrace with you sounds nice!
Peter,
Thanks as always for helping out with the details I don't know or just don't look up! You know I'm all about the photos but don't write much down to help myself remember! And oui, I can't wait to get back and find a terrace....maybe Chez Julian or who knows....we have so many favorites now! :)
