37 Comments on Paris Cafe
LUCKY GIRL! I have been away from AR and didn't know you had taken a trip! On our whirlwind trip through Europe years ago, jumping on and off trains in different cities, we were exchanging money everywhere we went, (JUST before the Euro was introduced!). Anyway, we were in a Parisian cafe, had our breakfast and the hubs was not sure how much money we had. In his very best French, as he held both hands out with ALL of our French francs, coins, etc., he asked the waitress to take what was due...we think she took pity on the "not so smart Americans" and so we tipped her well, (we think! =o) I am jealous, would love to return someday...
Bonjour Sally! What a great way to start your day - breakfast at a little cafe in the middle of Paris. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
A Bientot ...
sorry - don't know how to type the ^ accent on there.
Sally...it's still my favorite thing to do in Paris. It's just not done here on the same level, and I love it!!!! Twice a day, once in the morning...and once in the afternoon. Ahhhhhhhh.
Cheryl - Oooh, your whirlwind European trip sounds wonderful. I have to say, having the Euro certainly simplifies things. The Lira was the currency that used to boggle my mind. A trip to a Parisian Cafe is always an adventure. There's almost always something fun or unusual to observe or participate in.
David - Bonjour! The little croissant and cafe creme was the "breakfast of champions" for me. I needed to fuel up on caffeine to have the energy to sightsee all day. A Bientot... (accent circumflex...).
David A. - I couldn't agree more. Twice a day for sure, although by the afternoon cafe stop it's usually "un verre de vin rouge, s'il vous plait"!
Bonjour Sally!
Ah, Paris in the fall...... well, Paris in the winter, the spring, the summer...
Wishing you bon voyage!
Tom - Too true - Paris anytime of year is wonderful. We had a "voyage magnifique" - so love that city!
That looks like a fabulous treat Sally. I don't think the cafe culture will ever die in Paris. It's great fun to be waited upon by people who look at you like you're something the cat has dragged in.
Malcolm - I must be a masochist, but I rather enjoyed being waited upon by someone who thought I resembled something stuck to the bottom of their shoe! When in Rome...
Hi Sally...Chocolate in the Morning...mmm Bad Girl ? Hey I bet it was delicious with your late.
Can I carry your Bags next time...Love to See Paris
Glad to see you home safe and sound...
Now start Blogging Girl Show us what you learned and found in Paris.
PS: Great Photo!!
Love Ya!
Fred - Chocolate any time of the day is a very good thing! Thanks for the nudge - I will definitely put some more posts together very soon! Love Ya Back!
Sally your life is just FAR TOO MUCH FUN!!!! I'm happy you are taking some 'me time' because you so deserve it. I see the townhouse you staged in my complex must have SOLD because there are people in it. The VACANT ONE is still sitting VACANT...what can we say! Hmmmm staging works:)
Sally - what a great photo - just makes me want to pack my bags and head to Paris and sit at one of these outdoor cafe's. One of these days I make it there - sounds like the trip of a lifetime!
Dana - If life weren't fun, what would be the point?!!! That was a great staging success story. We staged the vacant on the Friday of the Labour Day long weekend (hot, everyone away etc.). It sold that weekend! Meanwhile, as you mentioned, the vacant unit for sale next door is still vacant. Need we say more?...
Kristine - I know, I can almost still smell the coffee and hear the buzz of the Paris streets. What a wonderful city. Hope you are able to take a trip there soon, although the Turks & Caicos (sp?) looked pretty good, too!
Oh my gosh, that looks and sounds so yummy! What an amazing experience that sounds like, even the snoody waiters. LOL!!!
Since you like the cafe culture, give me a call when you get to San Diego. We have a thriving cafe culture here. Mostly at the beach, but also inland in probably every city here.
Hello again Sally and once again this coffee and croissant is looking real good! VB will wait for your photo pics when you were younger and I bet you were a cute young lady ...
VB ;o)
Laura - I think the snooty waiters was the best part! It's so the antithesis of what you'd find in North America, service-wise. If anyone ran a cafe like that here, they'd be closed in no time. Ah well, c'est la vie!
Russel - You're on! San Diego is a gorgeous city, and what would take it over the top for me would be sitting in an outdoor cafe overlooking the warm, sunny beaches. Ahhhh - can you post a photo so that I can at least imagine being there?...
VB - Ha ha - you are nothing if not persistant! Okay, okay, I will try harder to post a photo in my younger days. The ravages of time are certainly cruel, though. I'm enjoying seeing your "Roger Daltry" look.
Sally....that photo captures sitting in a bistro in Paris! It is also my favorite city in the world to visit. I'm hoping to get back there in the next 2-3 years....and will be picking your brain for little gems before I go!!
Kathy - The highlight for me this trip was visiting Montmartre. I'd never been there before. It's such a pretty, unique area of Paris.
