A Walk on rue St. Antoine

Monday morning...Ugh! Shall we prolong facing realite with a little stroll in le Marais? Say just a few blocks along rue St. Antoine. Take Metro line #1 to St Paul Bon! On y va!

The temperature in New York is a chilly 61 (Paris is warmer at 68) my 1st stop would be a made-to-order chocolat chaud at L'Atelier du Chocolat. You handpick the chocolat you want, be it 65% or canelle, vanille etc. Comme vous voudrais/as you like it. Miam! Or would you  prefer Brunch?Brunch has become big in Paris... What will YOU have?A noisette?

Cafe le Dome is just across from the Metro stop.

Do you want to pick up a bouquet.

 Roses for your chambre? From Au Nom du la Rose

Or chocolate roses instead?

From nearby Miss Manon.

Un petit piece du fromage peut-etre? Be sure to count your change like this wise Parisian.

Oui absolutement, du chevre svp.

And une bonne bouteille du vin aussi?

If we mange chez nous, let's buy a mug or two at...

The place for the best bargain china, La Vaissellerie.

  My favorite bookstore on rue St. Antoine - there's always something to amuse...

 In the window-

'Je Voudrais Me Suicider, mais j'ai pas le temps'/I would kill myself, but I haven't the time. Enough pretending...

Back to realite & Monday morning!

BONJOUR PBers!

Paris Promenade

What are YOU doing this Labor Day week-end? Shall we pretend we're in Paris. And go for a walk/promenade? Paris Mommy doing 'The Paris Walk'
*Note the long stride and no break at the knee...Meandering around high heels might be a stretch since Jean-Paul Goude designed them...Oh the other hand (or foot) shop till you drop?
Oui bien sur!
Merci Soledad for the wonderful illo...
Wanna run to work?
Wait it's Labor Day when we celebrate not working.
Still if it put me in Paris I would RUN!
The march of the poets on the left bank.
I'm game. Are you? Do you jog?
I do not. But I'm ready if it takes me to les jardins Tuilleries...

'Le dejeuner sur l'herbe' is more my style...

Or a Paris cafe?

Do you love to read maps in Paris? I do....sigh

Shall we just hang out..?

They say it's a good exercise to put yourself in another's shoes.

Oui, YES SVP!

What do they say about browsing Paris pastry shop vitrines..?

JUST DO IT!

If you hear of a rent-a-dog-for-a-walk agency in Paris?

Do tell.

Back to painting cats and dogs in Paris.

BONNE WEEK-END PBers!!!

PARIS NIGHT WALKS!

Paris window chaise,watercolor, 5.5" x 7.5"

Another Paris night walk since you enjoyed yesterdays post so much adn I am still busy now with the Jack Russells... There's nothing like strolling around Paris at night... You have all the windows to yourself... And you can redecorate entirely to your heart's content - like this inviting chair in a rare bookshop window.. Oh those trecherous, unending circular staircases in Paris! I'll take a mini model instead S.V.P. Bouquets of everlasting coral - perfection! Parisien children's shops at night are full of stories - a sad child neglected by teddy parents...dommage A little snack for your night time journey..? A few cerises peut-etre? Crunch...crunch At last! Bisquits...quelle dommage - made of porcelaine=no calories! My walk from the Right bank over to the Left bank. Que Voltaire is particularly good for enticing antique boutiques for the vicarious shopper.
BONJOUR PARIS NIGHT WALKS!
