Tea and more

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

Fougasse Friday

A boulanger works quickly to shape olive fougasses, large pretzel-like flatbreads that originated in Provence. For Good Friday larger ones will have seven holes representing the face of Jesus Christ.

Portrait of a Lady

A portrait of a Grande Dame, part of a photography exhibition by her grandson, seems to be keeping tabs at the famed Hôtel du Nord.

A quiet place

Empty chairs and early morning stillness in the Palais-Royal garden.

Rue Saint-Rustique

This Montmartre street was a favorite subject of local artist Maurice Utrillo.

Café colors

Chairs that practically glow.
