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.
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.
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 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.
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

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.

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.....

Wonderful assemblage of reds in Paris! Everyone needs red, especialy in winter!

I would love to paint Paris any color...just to go there and take it all in! Oui Oui

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

without question, a bistro is not a bistro w/o generous lashings of red lacquer.

Yay for Red!!! (My favorite and this post reminds me why!)
