Merci, Madame, for this oh so Parisian b&w shot. I'll take the planche de fromage, which I see is available for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner—yes, please to cheese at any all all hours!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Marais = Menu ? New words to learn :D

" . . . at any and all hours" (the thought of real French cheese had me all discombobulated).
FYI,
This is the same café that had the cool red sofa in the doorway! :)
This is the drink menu and perhaps snacks-I'm actually wondering what a prix fixe meal costs these days. Christmastime 2004 the prix fixe was 14 Euro.
Ah I just had to go eat a slice of cheese, but the cheese here probably much nicer!
Sympa ce café-restaurant ! J'aime les lettres écrites à la craie sur les ardoises!
Je prendrai le chocolat chaud à l'ancienne ...
well seen.
Virginia, this is a beautiful, well-composed shot and is just perfect in b/w. Please order for me, s'il te plait
I can't decide between the tartine and soup for 10 Euros or the the house soup and a sandwhich for 9 euros. I'd be happy either way! :)
Le fantastic!
Thank you for sharing
