Mamie Gateaux Brocante

 

Have you had tea at adorable Mamie Gateaux on 66 rue du Cherche-Midi?

It’s been around 20 years.

Sadly, the tea salon closed in January…

But they are having a daily brocante (except Mondays) from 12:30 - 7:00

Until March 14 🤸‍♂️

All their vintage treasures 

And there are many,

Many enticing souvenirs d’enfance

Their classic, porcelain British tea 🫖 pots 

A nice memento for 10€ (33€ on Amazon) Thinking, thinking 🤔 

I got there at opening time yesterday & Solli came later.

Others joined in the hunt.

I put Mamie Gateaux on the Paris tea salon map…

And painted their lemon meringue tarte, my fav since I first visited in 2014. 

What was your favorite thing at Mamie Gateaux? The ardoise/blackboards are for sale.

Their quiche was terrific…trop tarde 

Naturalement I was drawn to the child’s poste office set.  Going postal is an old habit. 

I collected French Colonial stamps when I was 11-12. 

Thoughts of running 🏃‍♀️ away from home 🏠 to the Coté d’Ivoire 🌴 were appealing.

Trains, tins, games, tea pots, cookery ware, old books 📚There is plenty at Mamie Gateaux brocante, whatever your childhood dreams.  Just think! You can have your own Paris tea party at home
