Fête des Mères


Joyeuse Fête des Mères 2025

***

 Does Paris "do" brunch? visitors often ask. Not only has Paris wholeheartedly embraced le brunch in recent years, but it's transformed the Anglo-Saxon breakfast-lunch hybrid into a quintessentially French affair. From cozy bistros to trendy cafés, the city buzzes with options, as seen on sites like OuBruncher? or through any quick search for "best brunch spots in Paris.” Locals and visitors alike flock to homey favorites like La Bossue in Montmartre for its we-adore-you Grandma! decor and generous buffet to Carette for its breakfast spread. With endless variations of croissants, avocado toasts, luscious pains perdus, pastries and perfectly paired cafés au lait, Paris has made brunch a stylish celebration, especially fitting for La Fête des Mères. For mothers - and others. Enjoy! - BPJ

Fêting les mères


Above: the most beautiful bouquet; a light apéro before a more filling main course, below, that was dubbed, "confit-ment de canard" (aux olives) accompanied by frites cooked in (what else) duck fat

Yesterday, just before lunchtime, it seemed that almost everyone was wielding a bouquet. Stopping for an after-market coffee at our usual spot before heading home we must have counted at least a dozen from our terrace table and couldn't help but notice that roses, reserved mostly for Valentine's Day, were few and far between. However blooms of almost every sort imaginable were everywhere, imparting a sense of hope and renewal, as Paris gets back to its old self. - BPJ
