This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Paris. the Ravioli is TO DIE FOR. I recommend to ANYONE going to Paris to stop by. I discovered this restaurant when I was studying in Paris at the Sorbonne when I was 16, and I have gone back every time I'm in Paris. I spent a semester there in college and introduced all my friends to it! It is very, very French (read: if the patrons don't know you, they will not be particularly charming), but just for the Ravioli it is WORTH IT. It Melts. In. Your. Mouth. (And I don't even really like pasta!)
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.

Love this photo! It is the epitome of what French cafe's look like! I want to go inside, have a bite and soak up the atmosphere! :)
Looks so cozy and inviting. Sings Paris.
I've seen this place (in a picture) before It looks a lot like the picture on my dining table place mats.
It has a very high rating on Trip Advisor..
Oh, I wish I'd eaten there so I could give you a review. On signage and decor, it would be a 10!
It couldn't be anywhere else! I want to peek inside now please?
Wines and terriers?
Wines and terrorists?
I really do need to learn French.
Jack I admit to thinking something similiar! Actually it can mean the land, vineyards, soil. Maybe the Frenchies can elaborate!
