Carette

I HEART Carette Trocadero big time.

I was browsing Sweet Paris this morning. When I saw her post on Carette I melted - remembrances of Paris tea salons past.

Lots of French people like to go to Carette.

Lots of French pols or corporate types like to go to Carette.

BEAR likes to go to Carette and what BEAR likes, Bear gets.

We ordered a salade vegitarienne.

Next time we'll skip the demi-bouteille d'eau and buy some macarons - a la prochaine.

BEAR nudges me,
"Can we puleeze visit the pastry counter?"
Perfect irresistable macarons.
Lovely paintable petit fours say take us chez toi.
You can sit in the main tea salon or the enclosed cafe area at Carette.
Or you can sit outside.
Stacks of menu books at Carette - you will never lack reading material at this salon de the.
The 6/9 Metro entrance is right there at Carette, 4 Place du Trocadero 75016
Don't forget your box of irresistable macarons...
BONJOUR CARETTE!

  2. 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.

  4. 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!

  13. Is Bear getting a tad bit spoiled? Or is he just indulging you? If only Ozzie could be persuaded to the French Tea habit!

  14. You know very well I invited Ozzie to join me in Paris!
    Is he or isn't he coming along?
    :(

  15. 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.
