Pain et Chocolate
"If you want this as a job, start work at 9 a.m.
If you want this as a life, you start at 4 a.m."

What first caught my eye were the plush blankets draped across the backs of the outside bistro chairs (that's Dorothy, sitting to the right). I have not been in a Parisan salon de the in years. Why? Salon de Thes traditionally only serve petit dejeuner (breakfast), dejeuner leger (light lunch), patisseries (pastries, scones, sweet breads, etc.), tea, coffee, hot chocolate, wine, beer and champagne, and sandwiches et des collations (sandwiches and snacks) - all things that I either prepare or have on hand at the apartment.
But we'd been walking all afternoon, it was starting to get chilly, and everyone was famished. Just as everyone was starting to melt down, we came across this charming place and decided to give it a try - if only to rest our feet and wrap ourselves in those glorious blankets! Besides, a salon de the menu is very kid friendly. It turned out to be a great choice...
