 Happy Fête du Travail 2021

Coffee break

 

In Paris, many are still working from home, so when the inevitable pause-café rolls around it's time to head out to the new office water cooler: nearby café / restaurant counters temporarily set up for take-away coffee (and more).

Throwback Thursday

The Basilica through bare branches just one month ago.

Salad season

As the weather gets warmer simple salades composées with (or without) accompaniments make satisfying meals.

French toasting

 With bars, cafés, and restaurants still closed the tendance for small gatherings to meet for apéros at private homes more than ever before continues.
