Bear has arrived in Paris safe and sound if a tad sleepless.
He takes the scenic route into Paris on Roisseybus.
Bear spots his first French woman, walking her small dog, wearing a red coat + possibly carrying a vrais o faux Hermes Birkin bag...Ah Paris.
Place de la Opera is looking pretty gorgeous this morning!
Bear, feeling his oats. He remembers his not-so-hot breakfast(extremement crummy) on Delta decides to have petit dejeuner at famed Cafe de la Paix. What the Hey!
Bear looks inside. Who can resist?
Lovely French script on the menu too...
It's day 1 and Bear is feeling flush with fresh euros...
This is some grand place!
Tres grande indeed.
Possibly a little too grand for Bear. He immediately dribbles his thick, unctious hot chocolate (certainly a contender to Angelina's).
Fortunately other savvy breakfasters don't lift an eyebrow at Bear's faux pas.
Nevermind.
It's time to catch the Eurostar/Gare du Nord for London.
See you tomorrow PBers with London tales!
Ahhhh--there you go! Have a great trip, Carol and Bear. Rest up tonight!
ReplyDeleteCafe de la Paix for his first breakfast in Paris: Bear likes the good life! Bon voyage, Carol and bear! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteYay! Welcome to Paris, Carolg and Bear!
ReplyDeleteWow.. That was a short stay in Paris.. You're onto London already? A good start to your trip tho I would say. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have some money left after that breakfast:) That place looks very posh.
ReplyDeleteLondon so soon?
Have fun!
Good point Nikon!
DeleteBear does like to play fast and loose with the euros beginning of the trip.
Later on he is counting every centime and yelling at me for pastry extravagances :(
c'est la vie toujours

Delightfully yummy breakfast no doubt...thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow in the very early a.m. I'll be having
ReplyDeletemy breakfast at "Jim's Lunch,"in a little South Jersey town. Obviously way at the other end of the spectrum from your first "Paris Breakfast" of this trip.
You really hit the ground running... and Cafe de la Paix first thing? What a lovely way to start the trip. I cannot wait for the next post. For some reason I am living vicariously through you this trip. Have a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteM.Bear will be BACK IN PARIS on Saturday evening!
ReplyDeleteNot to worry.
His apartment in the BOBO 11th isn't ready until Sunday so...he's going to eat some London cupcakes at Peggy Porschen's Parlour and meet Vicki Archer (French Essence) today bla bla bla
Please forgive!!
Merci et Bonjour PBers!
ReplyDeleteOui, Jetlag can make you do foolish things...
C'est la vie :)
XOXO
M.Bear

ReplyDeleteLoved it Carol...it looked like a very yummy breakfast. Should I put Cafe de la Paix on my list??? I think so. A bientot.
ReplyDeleteWait, wait!
ReplyDeleteWill the next post be here, at Paris Breakfasts? Or is there now a sister site: London Breakfasts? I am so out of the loop.
Waiting with bated breath...
Alas, right now I can only afford to travel to Paris via Google Earth and PB! But, in the spirit of throwing caution to the wind, I took myself down to an authentic French patisserie in town today, and had an exquisite little cake and cup of coffee ... in Bear's honour (as one does). Hope you're enjoying the trip as much as Bear is :)
ReplyDeleteWow a breakfast with steak. best café in London
ReplyDeleteIt looked a pretty good plateful and a very sensible idea to stoke up with a good ..
