I'm just back from Nice where it rained a lot! (a big storm crossed Europe during Christmas), so surprisingly there was today more sun In Paris than when I left the French Riviera! I took a photo of a very typical café : le Café de l'Île Saint-Louis, which is perfectly located - just across the Île de la Cité and where they have a very nice - and quiet!- terrace. Now is the time to prepare the new year!
Thanks, Eric, for showing sunshine! There hasn't been much of that in New Hampshire lately, and for sharing a photo from my favorite spot in Paris, Ile St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red against that blue sky !
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there right now! Love the waiter with the long white apron!
ReplyDeleteThat sky! I had the most wonderful fish soup at that café, if it is the one I think it is.
ReplyDeleteAfter taking this lovely photo, did you go down the street and get some good stuff at Berthillon?
ReplyDeleteWe had Sunday Lunch there this year. A charming elderly Parisian lady who realised we were Scottish came over to speak to us to tell us how during the war her brother had a Scottish friend who was such fun that she decided she wanted to marry a Scotsman!
ReplyDeleteShe never did however - she was having lunch with her French grand children!
