When we lunched at le Reminet there was a large group at the table next to us. It must have been a business lunch as they had everything, including the dessert that you can see was well received.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

Il est bon également de pouvoir admirer une table après le déjeuné... Elle a une âme, tout comme votre photo...
gros bisous
Those glasses need filling. I'll be there in a jiffy.
Looks like a top notch place!
God bless you!

I agree. It looks like a great time was had by all! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Much more civilized than a tuna on rye eaten at your desk! I'm a bit envious, I admit.
Their lavish meal was much more than ours, but they could not have enjoyed it or the company any more than we all did!
Sigh. I'm turning a little green with envy at their apparent satisfaction. Alas.. will my lunch be as wonderful and.. filling? :)
I thought these were YOUR glasses!
Wonderfully evocative photo V.
Oh, la la, le dejeuner 'a Paris! C'est formidable, non, V de B?!

I think the dessert is the best part of the meal Virginia, and I wonder why I can't get rid of those last 5 kgs haha!
Ohhhh...wish I had been there!!!
My perfect setting...but you can ditch the business talk.
