I hope the cafe pictured on rue Bonaparte is not the old Cafe Bonaparte. In March we saw it was being remodeled, but it looked like the work was proceeding in a traditional style, unlike the photo with "BREAKFAST" on the awning.
Merci du blog!
Thanks for ending my week with not only a very colorful post, Carol, but a really glowing water color, too.
I love red! And, there is more red in the Holiday Windows!!!!
Fred,
you can heave a sigh of relief.
That cafe is at the very END of rue Bonaparte facing La Seine, not the other cafe close to Pl St. Germain.
:)
paris reds are the best, but i concentrate more on fashions and wines than pastries
I've been wearing my red paris raincoat lots the last 2 weeks and have had rave responses. got it on sale for 30 euros 4 years ago. quilted lining, warm.
Wonderful reds and a most beautiful Watercolor Carol, love it!

Carol, that little guy in red is adorable. Love the watercolor! Have a good weekend!
Love all that red! Was Little Red Riding Hood French?
The watercolor is great, Carol.
I wonder if the "red trend" will catch on over here? The clothing, that is.....
Beautiful painting...I have to tell you that you've been tempting me to treat myself to a Christmas present lately! On the subject of Paris reds...I'm reminded of the pretty "Metro" lamp posts.
I´m in love with dots, breakfast like these and coffee ♥
I love the cherry heart:) Lovely watercolor..and the splashes of rouge here and there? So nice..I took watercolor classes many yrs ago.. too few.. 2:( w/ a wonderful artist..he said..always add a touch of red.
You brought back memories of this gentleman.
Geri,
I LURVE those pretty "Metro" lamp pos
Maybe I should just do a post on Metro signs..?
Wonderful assemblage of reds in Paris! Everyone needs red, especialy in winter!
Carol, your cerise watercolor is a gem.
The photographs just continue to inspire me to future travels.
Merci! xo
I would love to paint Paris any color...just to go there and take it all in! Oui Oui
Red Power, I like!!!
Wow - that painting is incredible. Love the colours, the tea-pot, the cherry on the crumble-cake. Everything. Talented lady!
Magnifique, comme toujours, Carol! I now feel the need to wear red... I will be in Paris next month and cannot wait!! Merci beaucoup!
So love the red. Fantastic cerise piece my dear. :)xo

I love your posts about the color red in Paris. It brightens my day <3

without question, a bistro is not a bistro w/o generous lashings of red lacquer.
and i'm with you RE: le coca in France! let's keep it on our side of the atlantic. but i suppose we rail in vain.
Yay for Red!!! (My favorite and this post reminds me why!)
Love your watercolor!
There is a restaurant in Philadelphia called Rouge and they set up outside tables to look just like a cafe in Paris. It's really cute and I love to pretend that I'm somewhere in Europe
