Signes du Samedi - Au Vieux Paris



Au vieux Paris d'Arcole, depuis 1594 certainly lives up to the "vieux" in its name.  Located just a block from Notre Dame, I photographed it first here in 2010. It's had a new paint job outside but still remains one of the most charming restaurants you will find in Paris. This last trip, I was lucky enough to photograph the owner and the inside of this beautiful old place. I will share a small series during the upcoming week.

    In business all these years (centuries!), it must be really a special place!
    God bless you!

    This is looking a tad familiar and no doubt will send me to my Paris pix to see if I'm thinking of the same spot. Whether I am or not, it is lovely!
