Les Lettres

If I had an ENORMOUS suitcase, I would purchase PARIS JE T'AIME in colorful letters for my home from Merci!

S'il Vous Plait et Merci

I saw a photo on Facebook this week.  It was a Parisian chalkboard outside a café.  It said, " Un Café 2 euro. Un café s'il vous plait 1.80 euro!!!  When anyone asks me about  Paris,  I always start with, "Bonjour, merci et s'il vous plait."  It works every time.

These letters brought to you by one of my favorite shops in Paris, MERCI, bien sûr.

Merci de Merci

I try to visit Merci every time I get to Paris. They have a treasure trove of letters of all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they are on the wall, other times dumped in bins. This day, they spelled out the magic word in Paris!

Signes du Samedi - Merci!

 Merci, a wonderful shop in the Marais that donates a portion of their profits to charity has an ever changing wall with their extensive collection of letters of all sizes and colors.  Loved this message. It's sooo Paris!

Samedi Signes - Bon!

By now you know how I love to visit Merci , every trip I make to Paris.  What many don't know about this store is that profits go back to a children's charity in Madagascar, hence the name.  One of my favorite spots is the downstairs area where you can find all kinds of hip household and garden items. There's also a neat little café overlooking their courtyard garden.  This trip, they'd used some of their terrific metal letters for the wall.  How apropos!

And on that note, may I wish you all al BON weekend!
