I bought this rose-framboise religieuse to paint in front of their bottle (I stole a few shots). I ate it but the painting looked Hellish. See below.
Do you know FLOWER on 14, rue Bonaparte?
A delightful shop to browse in.
Art book publisher ASSOULINE has a terrific shop at No. 35 great for a stop on.
BOUTIQUE FABRICE has been on rue Bonaparte for as long as i've been coming to Paris at No. 33
Great for leche vitrine
Here's a newish shop to discover at 21. LITTLE GREEN, a bespoke paint and paper decoration shop from Manchester, England
They have stunning catalogs and color charts to take away. They mix up your paint to order on the stop.
A small street off of rue Bonaparte that makes you think of
Small side streets in Aix non?
Now is the time for pretty bottles of Rosé...in a small epicerie on Bonaparte. Why not start at the Seine and wander up the rue?
Today I'm wandering off to Reims. Its been a year or two and all this bubbly immersion has made me curious to go see some more bottle green since I've been painting Champagne over and over.

ReplyDeleteWill you buy small Rose de Reims cookies?
Have fun!
Cookies are off-limits at the moment Monique. But I saw plenty of them...
DeleteResist, resist!
The wallpaper in the 11th photo from the top - I'm in love!
ReplyDeleteFrom LITTLE GREEN.
DeleteBritish of course. It looks silk-screened. I put my nose up to it!
I would have bought that tomato plant from Flower in an instant & gone home to make BLTs(more difficult with cherry tomatoes but possible). Every tomato looks perfectly ripe & lushious - though your champagne bottles are lushiouser.
ReplyDeleteBLTsssssssss Yum
DeleteOnly Marks and Spencers has them in Paris...
Forbotten!
Enjoy Reims!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was my best trip to Reims! But too hot
DeleteI loved the art work. That store with the jewelry would be my biggest downfall.
ReplyDeleteFurther down Rue Bonaparte - past Laduree is : a apothacary - and a must see - gorgeous packaging, they also have a new second branch in the Marias - check it out!
ReplyDeletel’Officine Universelle Buly
I know the,...I think they were closed for summer vacation..
DeleteI have been to that Laduree on a chocolate tour, but of course did not explore the rest of the street towards the river. The other end by Saint Sulpice also has some nice boutiques. Will be exploring in October.
ReplyDeleteIts a particularly lovely small street to wander Marilyn.
DeletePS I think the lower end of Bonaparte has better light, maybe because its closer to the Seine or the height of all the buildings.. def more charm.
DeleteWhat a lovely street, I agree the tomato plant and paper shop looked amazing but my favourite is the champagne at the patisserie.
ReplyDeleteYes a street of nice surprises Kirra

ReplyDelete"Little Green" is a song by Joni Mitchell, but your photo looks more like The Beatles on Abbey Road. Was that deliberate?
ReplyDeleteHow funny Jay.
DeleteItwas just luck those walkers were passing by at that moment. My intent was to catch one figure but a troup passed by instead!
What a beauty that coral necklace on the right!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol.
