Petit Dejeuner at Cador Patisserie, watercolor, 9" x 11 1/2"
Meanwhile, back in Paris...
At a lovely small tea salon, Maison Cador Patisserie adjacent to the Louvre. I used to stay at Hotel de la Place du Louvre, and sometimes have petit dejeuner there.
Cador sits on the corner of rue de Louvre & 2, rue Amiral de Coligny. The interior is in the style of Louis XVI, decorated with allegorical reliefs of love, Venus and cupid 💘
Their croissants 🥐 are perfection!
Cador's pastries are classic and perfect.

Their star gateaux:
Le Concord - dark chocolate with meringue
Le Petit Cador - chocolate ganache in an orange-flavored bisquit. MIAM!
An update on Cador: I'm sad to report on my last visit,
I stopped by and noticed Cador was closed.
Total rennovation was taking place.
COJEAN bought the space and opened a healthy fastfood restaurant 😱

ReplyDeleteI am off to Paris in a few weeks and if I try to visit every fabulous place you have shown on your blog I will have to stay for another year. That would be great!
ReplyDeleteSeeing all these delicious pics (photos and your paintings) I really do need to accompany you at least for a week to get to try all this delicious stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can almost taste it already ;)
Your painting is delicious! Went out to a tea house to celebrate Valentine's Day. Had a wonderful time-enjoyed the tiny tea sandwiches, the sweets and the scones. I had a wonerful Scottish breakfast tea-I love a hearty tea with a spot of cream-so satisfying!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think I should make "Vicarious virtual visits to Paris" CDs.
ReplyDeleteVery low calorie and easy on the credit card, though you won't get any milage :)
Love the painting. White on white with just a touch of color..Deceptively simple.
ReplyDeleteLove the "Vicarious virtual visits to Paris" CDs Idea..What a hoot.. pop a CD in and go window shopping/drooling in Paris as many times as you'd like.. Talk about a Fantasy! ;-)

Your art delights me and your images of decatant parisian desserts.... oh what can I say but mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
ReplyDeleteyum indeed! Now photos like that are one of the reasons why I just have to visit Paris!
ReplyDeleteThis is where Carrie feasted in the penultimate episode of Sex and the City. I really want to visit Cador Patisserie. It seems like Laduree but a bit more 'old school' (if that is a phrase that can be applied to a Parisian establishment).
ReplyDeleteIt's much smaller than Laduree, l'embrouillamini and not a chain.
ReplyDeleteIt's somehow more authentic.
I can't wait to go back...
I have loved Patisserie Cador since I studied in Paris more than ten years ago. I was so sad to see it under renovation when I was there in April 2007. Does anyone know what happened?
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmmmm
