Carol, I've now added Carette to my list of Parisian musts.
I so agree with you about the gelato at Sant Ambroeus. What variety! It's usually safer for me to walk on the opposite side of Madison Avenue when I am near S A.
Best wishes to you on the upcoming trip. Glad you've solved the mysteries of Apps.
Oh yes, s.v.p., I would not mind at all being transported to Paris, right now! I would even bearsit, just for the pleasure of your company in that fabulous place.
I splurged on each and every image, especially your painting, but the last one melted my heart: the box, the box ..... ooooooh!
I must add too that the best day to go to Carette is on Sunday -- when everything else is closed and all the super chic Parisians pile into the Place du Trocadéro.
That was my hubby's local for 11 yrs and in all that time never thought to take a photo. Hm. Think you're right about the eau minérale - get a carafe and some macarons to go next time :-)
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
I'll have so many places to visit once I get there thanks to you..

Gorgeous as usual and makes me want to return. x
ReplyDeleteMost enticing and very Frenchie atmosphere..
ReplyDeleteMy favorite afternoon gouter - Carette!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful looking shop.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that BEAR liked it :)
Is Bear getting a tad bit spoiled? Or is he just indulging you? If only Ozzie could be persuaded to the French Tea habit!
ReplyDeleteYou know very well I invited Ozzie to join me in Paris!
ReplyDeleteIs he or isn't he coming along?
:(

I'd say you DESERVED a few macarons after such a healthy salad. Goodness. Balance, my dear!
ReplyDeleteDear Carolg, I used to go chez Carette with my grandmother, these are sweet memories for me, and your bear is so fun and cute !
ReplyDeleteHi Carol! It's always such a delight to visit here. That salade vegitarienne is calling me, as is the perfect atmosphere of Carette!
