Is this on Avenue de la Motte Picquet? I am an Australian girl who has visited Paris twice in two years and have stayed opposite Rue Cler both times. If it is the same place, which I suspect it is, do yourself a favour and order not one, but TWO of their chocolat amande croissants for breakfast one day! You will walk it off in no time. I was staying with friends and had to get one of them to go down and covertly purchase another one for me because I feared the judgement of the svelte Parisiens who work there. I went for a stroll with him and waited outside. One of the ladies walked out to clean the front window, recognised me from ten minutes earlier and I received my judgement. <BR/><BR/>Also, hire a velib while you're there and ride through St Germain des Pres early in the morning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-86540852402794703212009-03-19T00:12:00.000-04:002009-03-19T00:12:00.000-04:00Did I see Cafe du Commerce??
