Last night I was meeting Karen Schneid and her adorable daughters at La Fontaine de MarsA quick walk down rue Cler was essential.
To see all the decorated shop windows
Even though some were closing up for the night
Davoli had not yet taken in this enormous (bigger than your head) Panettone (which I now finally know how to spell maybe too well?).
I think this is a restaurant, not a bucherie de cheval.
I love Ducasse’s Christmas tiger theme this year.
The mini Buches de Noël are out on rue Cler.
Exquisite desserts in the window at La Mere de Famille.
An adorable doggie in a restaurant window wearing a chic Comme des Garçons T-shirt. Really?
My friends were waiting, Karen and her two daughters, Scarlet & Saffron.
We shared their super delicious créme brûlée
Then the perfect end to a perfect Paris evening ❤️👏🥂👏❤️
Thanks for great memories
ReplyDeleteMy idea of a perfect holiday occasion. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI know 😊 A stroll down rue Cler simply browsing, a good dinner at a great bistro with friends, sharing a crème brûlée & the Eiffel Tower!
DeleteBar PTT -- one of the best places to taste the sea in their oysters. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didnt know…I love briny oysters 🦪
DeleteAn inspiring post. I love the well behaved doggie!! Annie
ReplyDeleteI love Rue Cler -- we stayed a few blocks away last trip and walked there many a time and ate there as well. Sigh. How I'd love to see it during the holiday. Thank you for sharing it.

DeleteThe holidays aren’t complete without a walk down festive rue Cler. Yum - Davoli! Next life I want to come back as a French dog. Glad you had a fab night out, Carol!
ReplyDeleteLovely girls!Ah Boucherie Chevaline.. no longer ..but my husbands dad had a boucherie chevaline..At the beginning ce fut la folie..it abated and ended.He always owned and ran a grocery store..I love Rue Cler.
ReplyDeleteYou are so rue Cler Monique. It’s more elegant these days.
DeleteIt looks enchanting right now.
DeleteI wanted to let you know my granddaughter received your letter
ReplyDeleteShe let me know how much she enjoyed daydreaming and reminiscing about our last trip to Paris together Alice
Désolé, Carol! Panettone.
ReplyDeleteDont be sorry. I knew I was getting ahead of myself. So many Ts! Will fix PDQ
DeleteI love rue Cler - thanks for taking us on that Christmas walk. Your Fontaine de Mars water color is perfect - I love it. We finally got there on our last trip and it's now on our return list. Also, glad to know about Aux PTTs briny oysters.
