 Fenêtres, le Marais

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.

Paris Rouge - Un tabouret

I've brought you to Losco's in the Marais, several times.  They sell only fine leather belts and a wide assortment of fabulous buckles.  I've been allowed photos in the past but this day Madame gave me a limit of two photos but I negotiated a little and got four. Ahhh the French.  Regardless, you must stop in and if nothing else have a look at the workbench along the wall and breathe in the rich smell of leather.

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 - Vert Absinthe

Those of you that know me well, or just know my chat noir Meeps, will know why I stopped here and took a lot of shots. As a matter of fact, I have this very poster!
