Where else can you have a lovely cup of thé or a delicious déjuener AND buy yarn and knitting supplies at the same time? Why L'oisive Thé in Butte aux Cailles, of course. This charming shop was a true delight. It's easy to find right on rue de la Butte aux Cailles.

Peter and I stepped inside this charming little honey shop in Butte aux Cailles. The owner was very kind and allowed me to poke around with my camera. I need to go back and buy soaps for all my friends at home!

 As always, I thank Peter for taking me to an area of Paris I might never have found. Butte- aux -Cailles offers a charming look at an area of Paris many have not visited. I loved the townhouse flats. Butte aux Cailles is now one of my favorite photo haunts!

Avec beaucoup de couleurs

L'Oisive Thé is a very special shop in the Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood.  I found this shop online and it is the very special mix of thé and yarn!!  For a knitter, this was too good to be true. The owner is an ex-pat so we could converse. Mary and I had thé and a yummy cookie but the salads looked amazing. It's on my next To Do list as I'm knitting again and some Parisian yarn would be very fun to have.

We stopped in on a chilly January day so sitting outside was not an option.  Sad because look how colorful these chairs are!

Couverte de Vigne

The Butte aux Cailles neighborhoods are a charming change from what one expects to see in Paris. The wisteria is rampant. Vive la France!

Le cri!

L'oisive Thé

The gentlemen next to us ordered this delicious brioche. I took one look and all I saw was Munch's "The Scream".

French Stranger #82 - M. Schakmundès

Ha, I can hear you laughing and saying, 'Well V finally met her match in Paris and actually got thrown out of a shop for taking photos!"  Well that might very well happen one day, but not here.  Actually the proprietor of Les Abeilles, Jean-Jacques Schakmundès was not showing me the door,  he was giving instructions to the man who was helping with a delivery that day.  He was very kind  and allowed me to photograph his charming boutique in the Butte aux Cailles neighborhood.  Since 1993, he's kept over 30 hives in the Paris region.  We'll be back another day for a look at what he has to offer.  In the meantime, click on the link and visit his website.
