Every tourist that has visited Montmartre has probably taken this shot.
Lapin Agile was built around 1855 and artist Andrew Gill painted the charming sign of the rabbit jumping out of the saucepan. Today you can still enjoy French music in this quaint little cabaret. I will admit that I've never gone in but after reading about it, I will surely go next visit.
Recently I had a nice comment from a new reader who goes by the name of "Lapin Agile". I had a look at his blog and couldn't believe my good luck.
L'Auberge "Chez Richard" features terrific recipes that I might actually try, but you can also get a great French fix as well. HOP on over to Richard's blog and tell I sent you!

when i first saw the picture i didn't know why it looked so familiar, but after reading the text i remembered that beautiful window in Montmartre :)
you bring bits of paris every morning in my office :D
yes, well know sight in Montmartre. Like you, I have never been inside this place.
I will now hop over to Richard's blog
I wonder if they cook a French variety of "Hasenpfeffer" in France? Maybe we could ask our cooking friend, Paula, non?
I think I maybe the only visitor to Montmartre NOT to have this shot .. I might have been there before it was built .. (kidding)
Beautiful :)
I do not have this picture and yet I have been to Montemartre so many times ---thank you -- a fresh look.
You're right Virginia, I do have this almost exact picture, love the green and the ivy growing all around the window. Ah! fond memories, thank you.
Oh dear! Another blog to add to my long list. Richard's recipes are wonderful.
J' aime cet lapin.
Bonne soiree.

I've never taken this shot either, V. And am pretty sure I've never been inside. You've made it look so inviting though, that I think maybe next time . . .
Thanks for the link to Richard's tasty blog.
Very interesting this exemplar
It is usually a bit crowded by tourists, but always nice to be seen!

Love the colors, Virginia. Very vibrant!
Monsieur Lapin, mon plaisir!
THank you dear readers for hopping over to M. Lapin's blog today and visiting and leaving comments. I told him that my readers could be a rowdy bunch but knew you would love it .

The image of the rabbit is quite familiar but I don't think I have seen the real building in Montmartre. The building and your picture are warm and inviting. Bon appetit.
Sans y avoir pénétré... ce lieu est rempli de charme...
Gros bisous
A mythic place if ever!
My kind of restaurant, at least in look.
