You’ve got Paris Maps, rue du Cherche Midi

 Do you get lost in Paris? My 1st year in Paris I got lost all the time.

As an inveterate map collector 

I don't drive 🚘 so I collect maps 🗺️ 

I dreamed of creating my own Paris maps.

A Paris dish towel map from Un Dimanche a Paris (now closed) is an essential for the map-obsessed.

I've flirted with this goofy biscuit map box  in Monoprix for too long. Have you seen it?

Another goofy map online shows charcuterie/ham etc. floating round l'Île Saint Louis.

I longed for La Mere de Famille's illustrated map of Paris candy box forever.

Caramel maps of France hold a special place in my heart ❤️ So special. I broke a filling last week eating a caramel. 

Sometimes I scribble some Paris maps.in my sketchbooks

Even Paris macaron maps.

After 9 months of trial & error I'm thrilled to share a NEW subscription letter in my Etsy shop - PARIS STREET MAPS! .

Ta Da!

May's map is rue du Cherche-Midi - a street I could never spell until 8 -10 visits doing map research.

Actor Gerard Depardieu owns a fish store on rue du Cherche-Midi…

Where can you get the perfect light French bistro lunch after browsing/shopping at Le Bon Marche? 

On rue du Cherche-Midi a block away at Le Nemrod.

Early stages creating the Paris maps proved a nightmare of sorts.

Moving right along.

Finding the right typography for a map is not a piece of cake 🍰 

Falling in love with curly French ecriture was maybe a Big mistake.

The boys at the copy shop (Team PB) said I needed more guys on the map. 

Do you love Paris Maps? 

Do you have a favorite street I should walk down and discover for you? PLEASE tell in the comments. 

Included in the printed Paris map letter are various Paris souvenirs. Nearby Metro stations indicated.

I hope you'll have as much fun as I did rediscovering Paris!

This is a repost from 9 years ago. 

I am, comme d’habitude/as usual late with this months Paris letter 💌 & rushing to finish it, comme d’habitude. Please forgive 🙏🐻🙄 Carolg
