It may be Spring but hot chocolate/chocolat chaud ☕️ is always a good idea in Paris
La Pâtisserie Viennoise is tucked away on a side street is easy to miss - 8 rue l'école de médecine 75006 Bus 86, 63 go right by it.
It was in David Lebovitz' Paris Hot Chocolate Address Book. 
Don’t you love ❤️ Frenchie type on Paris' windows.
And the French handwriting on porte etiquettes/pastry cards. The Viennese pastries on offer:
Black Forest cake - same as Sacher Torte?
Their renown 🍎 strudel. Plus other viennoiseries.
Founded in 1928. No wonder there's an old-fashioned feeling to this student hangout. It's a favorite of Sorbonnoises and one of Paris' hidden petit trésors. 
Practice reading French écriture cursive on an ardoise / blackboard menu before you leave for Paris. That’s a French class you won’t find on YouTube. 
*La Pâtisserie Viennoise is closed on Sunday.

Nice map addition! Don in Texas is enjoying his gift Paris Letter of the book stalls! TY! It arrived on a gloomy, rainy cold day--a day brightener...
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know 👏
DeletePARIS LETTERS specializes in brightening 🌞 your day
And they absolutely do so! Very up beat they are! And imaginative. Highly recommended art work.
DeleteBrings me back to Pâttiserie Viennoise where I would tuck in on a cold day, all by my lonesome, and indulge. I didn't know there was a map to these pleasures. Will order soon!
ReplyDeleteExactly! A nice warm, cosy spot with coffee ☕️ aromas when Paris is its chilliest
DeleteThat first watercolor.. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monique ☕️
DeleteCarol, I still LOVE all your drawn figures and study them. No one does it better. Their movements are perfect, the way they stand, lean, walk. Perfect! 💗
ReplyDeleteI love ❤️ drawing figures 🏃♂️ the most fun 🎉
DeleteLove the addition of the Google Map! It really helps to visualize the location - Merci!
ReplyDeleteI should do that more often…this is an old one. They rarely put street names in Paris Google maps - so annoying. In London there was no problem 🤷♀️
DeleteCarol, it just dawned on me that Anton Pieck does people/figures like you. You both have so much animation & feeling. I always look to see what they are doing. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Anton Pieck before, which means nothing. He’s a wonderful draftsman and does very complex scenes I could never do but thanks for telling me about him.
DeleteThe Black Forest cake is a famous German cake and has nothing to do with the Sacher Torte (which is from Austria).

Thank you for the link. Of course there is only ONE Sacher Torte! I actually tasted it on a very brief visit to Vienna eons ago with an opera singer I met on the train 😊
DeleteYum Carol! I tried to find Cafe Pouchkine at Au Printemps last year and failed. Do you have insight as to finding its current location? Julie in San Francisco
ReplyDeleteClosed permanently in Paris unfortunately. Maybe the war in Ukraine…?
DeleteThat sounds delish and your illlustrations ar delicious too!
