Provence in Paris

A touch of Provence in Paris:

 

Exclusively during summer and for just four more days escape the canicule in the private garden courtyard of a 16th century former abbey.

 

Open bar - live music

Palais Abbatial
Place de Furstemberg

5 rue de l'Abbaye 75005

Mellow yellow

On this unseasonably chilly morning a café-restaurant eases into the day.

Just like home

A métro station ad for a food delivery service that says, "The cooking of a restaurant, the comfort of home."

Turquoise door

 

 

A beautiful old door that has become one of my favorites.

Wine stop

A quick stop at a wine shop/bar à vins on a cobbled street off the river.

Standing room only

So many books have been squeezed into this cozy librairie that there's hardly room to walk around.

 

Big Mac

Sandwiched between two apartment buildings a multi-storied Flemish-style structure is occupied top to bottom by a McDonald's.
