A question I often ask myself - just joking... V; you know what I do occasionally? I ask nicely if I can BUY one of their cups and saucers... I have therefore a mini-selection of wonderful memories. Stealing is not on - you couldn't enjoy any coffee ever from a nicked cup, could you? :) Thought so.... BTW; when we were in Italy a long time ago, we went for the most heavenly caffè to the same place every morning - on the last day just before leaving we went for a 'finale' and I asked above question. They offered me a cup & saucer which makes me think fondly of them every time I slurp my espresso.
Des consommations bon marché...mais que beaucoup de cafés refusent de servir après 8H du soir. Dans le midi, c'est encore le verre de vin rouge, qui reste le moins cher (0,80E).
OK, I confess, that was my first thought too! What perfect cups, they compliment the coffee. That deep, elegant green with just the right amount of gold. It was a treat to see it!
How to make a simple cup o' Joe something extra special: Well, you can start by drinking it in Paris! As for the cups, I'll take care of it for you, V. :~}
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.

Perhaps not, but you would! Leslie in Portland, Oregon
Hi V. Shhhhh, I think you'll be right as long as you drink the coffee first. Cheers J.

Oh! they are simply gorgeous Virginia ..... wonderful shade of green. Is that cafe crème?
A little harder to walk out with than a hotel towel but do-able. Would they like it? That's another matter!
Alain, le verre de vin blanc works for me!

Kiki, you're right. Asking is the best policy.
This is a beautiful shade of green, I wish a pair for myself! One can never have too many demitasses!
What a beautiful photograph this is!

Ooooo, those are exquisite. :) I would want one too. Or better yet, a pair.
They are lovely, Virginia. You can have your coffee in one of these. Mine will be in a mug. I can't fit my fingers through those little handles.
Mmm... I think about it every time when I drink coffee in such marvelous cups;)))
I'll bet if you asked them nicely, they'd give you a set.
Starman, I wouldn't really take them but maybe I will ask next time and see what they say!
