La Cafe fleuris de Paris Map

 Everyone needs an upper from time to time. If you’re planning a trip to Paris, that can be a long-range upper that keeps you up till you return and start planning the next trip to Paris. But what do Parisians do? We’re already here. True we have the most gorgeous sun rises and sun sets(keep scrolling).

And we had the Gobelin Bears to raise our spirits. Everything you want to know about the bears is in the video link🐻

But the floral cafes have worked a special charm making Parisians feel good. 

It seemed a good idea for a Paris map.

Here’s a peek at La Favorite’s menu on rue de Rivoli.

Cafe Cassette did a big makeover 

On 73 rue de Rennes, 75006. 

Even the inside is all flowery. 

The Twickenham on Bd Saint Germain is a new addition to the flower cafe club strewn with Virginia creeper or is it Wisteria?

Besties is a donut bakery, but such a pretty flowery one and they do have chairs and tables out front.

Their donuts are a colorful fantasia best left to those who have not grown up eating hot cinnamon donuts made on the spot (in Grand Central Station, NYC in the year one).

Naturally I thought it would be a snap to draw floral cafes. Ha Ha Ha! Cafes are complicated to draw. On Friday, my 1st attempt did not meet the approval of my copyshop guy, Assa. 

Here’s a good advice from the St. Louis shoe company president I worked for in Italy and Spain, (All shoe companies on the planet have their HQ in St.Louis). He said,”When you show someone a new shoe (or anything) never look at the shoe. Look at their face for their reaction.”

My copyshop guy’s face was a big frown. He knows my artwork over several years. He’s yet to be wrong when he makes a face. 

Back to the drawing board over the weekend. I created my own mini Floral cafe here.

If you’re wondering where I found these adorable crepe paper Sakura cherry blossoms, *BHV has the best party stuff (on the planet)on the second floor with the art supplies. Made by Rico Design in Germany. 

Today Assa was all smiles 😊🤸‍♂️👏🍾 And me too. Good for Mom’s day too in my Etsy shop.
