- Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on ÃŽle Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.

Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

Carol, this looks delicious -- we'll stop in when we're in Paris this fall. Thanks for sharing this; the fancy hotel teas you've done recently look amazing, but aren't in our budget.
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute..
ReplyDeleteHey hey hey..what a great new Header too..and the aquarelle?:)
I am quite charmed by this one..no fuss..wouldn't even worry about what to wear..
Adorable! Would love to go there...preferably right now.
ReplyDeleteI would love visiting here too. Sue from Portland (Oregon or Maine?). If Oregon I think I should meet her and have tea in Portland, Oregon. The lemon pie looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou Have to paint the lemon pie at le loir dans la theiere
ReplyDeleteTo die for gorgeous!
A fab spot! love it love it!
ReplyDeleteox
Carol! I'm inviting you right now---this place looks charming. Much less fussy---I think I'll stick to cocktails at the ritzy hotels. I walked by here last year and ALMOST stopped in. Now I really wish I had.
ReplyDeleteI walked by here SO many times. I even went in and looked around. Why didn't I stop. They have newly renovated it...much less dark and more space now.
DeleteIt's a date!
charming pastry shop with its authentic appeal.lov it!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at lemon. I have to pin for my bucket-list.

Oh, non, the secret is out! This spot is charming, unassuming, and lovely on a sunny afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThis place looks right up my alley--couldn't eat any of that anymore, but I'd love it! Charming.
ReplyDeleteI love those French schoolbooks. I love ANY vintage schoolbooks, actually. I would have to buy one or two. That little restaurant looks perfect. I will put it on my list.
ReplyDeleteRecently I watched a blurb on TV about how the government in France is trying to teach its citizens how to be nicer to tourists. I wonder if it's working? It would be disappointing to finally be able to visit Paris and be treated rudely. Perhaps it has a lot to do with just being weary of all the tourists or maybe it's a matter of tourists who do not make much effort to speak French whenever they can? I used to live in a ski resort and was always pleasant and helpful to tourists but I can remember sometimes wanting to tell some of them off.
Have you experienced this sort of rudeness, Carol? I do remember in the ski resort the locals referred (secretly) to the French as "French Frogs." Yikes!
Carol, this is one of my favorite little spots and have been many times. I find it charming! I discovered it when we stayed in a hotel down the way on Cherche-Midi. I've made a list of all the tea rooms you've shared of late for my up coming trip to Paris in September. Tea every afternoon is on my agenda. Will you join me one afternoon? ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteLoved, loved, loved this! Is there any way to buy those luscious to die for latte bowls?
ReplyDeleteFinally - the comment box is back! Forget about the lack of macs....I am a completely Equal Opportunity kind of person, especially when it comes to dessert.
ReplyDeleteOh,Carol,Le Livre de la Joie?
ReplyDeleteThis post has walked away with m heart.
THANK YOU!!
Very cute shop, & I LOVE cheesecake :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be very happy there!
On the Rue de Whitmore I presume?
ReplyDeleteI shall seek no further; this is chez bonhuer for me
and if I misspelled, you know what I mean!xx
This place looks wonderful. I'll have to see if I can convince any of my pals to join me there! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI must go there and buy children's books. Oh, and have a citron tarte or two! Big sigh. Is there a better flavor than lemon? Even chocolate pales for moi!
