Tuesday tea

 Tea for two in the Passage Vivienne, with a luscious pastry to share.

A French tea

 

Teatime in France, as in England, is around 4 p.m., and a perfect way to share a pre-curfew afternoon.

Tea for me

Égoïste means "selfish" and these individual teapots on a shelf at a Right Bank shop make one cup at a time.

Tea and more

Upstairs at gourmet tea room Mariage Frères on the Left Bank.

French art of tea

One of my favorite stops, especially on rainy days, is Mariage Frères. With over 600 varieties of teas, everything on their elegant menu, even the bread used for the finger sandwiches, has tea as an ingredient.
