The Piment Café in the Marais seems to offer something for everyone. I especially like Happy Hour written en anglais! I should have gone in and asked them if they served pimento cheese sandwiches!
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.

Like most places in le Marais, this has a lot of charm and character!
I'm guessing it's an internet @ cafe also Virginia...I'm just off to make a sandwich :)
I love that door! :)

It is odd that "Happy Hour" is in English. Perhaps they believe it will attract more patrons.
Looks like a trendy spot -- C@fe --- interesting spelling ...
Swell photo, Virginia. I cannot imagine being able to know Paris as well as you do. Wow.
"Happy hour" is always written in english in France!Now that you say it,I realise that I never saw a café with "Heure heureuse" written on the door!
Charming place! I love pimento and cheese sandwiches and 'totally' would have asked! :)
That "Happy Hour" in English was the first thing I noticed.
That nice long happy hour makes me happy. :~} (Recently got back from a few days down South, so pimento cheese was my first thought too!)
When I first looked, I thought you had sneaked in a photo from elsewhere -- Happy Hour! Love it!
This place looks a little rough, Virginia. Bring a bodyguard.
How is it possible that I love the Marais but don´t know this Café?
I love the colours in this photo.
