Fancy coffee, cake and comfort....

and you just happen to be in the Marais ..why not call into ....
Le Loir Dans Le Theiere! This is where we came after I met Leesa and Dawn at the Metro Saint-Paul.


Just one of the many cafes that Leesa and Dawn know! This is a very popular and delightful cafe, with some of the best home made desserts in Paris.. Crumbles, Tarts and Pies, more British I would say, than French..but still delightful, I am sure you will correct me if I am wrong!! It is best to try and go early for lunch, it can get packed out, and you won't want those desserts to run out!!
I loved the coffee, the quirkiness and the people, very friendly. Thanks Leesa and Dawn..another wonderful coffee and chats!!
Some one said it is "One of those places you don't want to recommend because you want it to be your secret".

    This looks sooooo great, Anne! I really enjoyed reading your impressions of being there.

    I've seen Leesa's posts about this cafe and hope to go there myself soon! So nice you met Leesa and Dawn there.

    Cheers and take care.

    I love your collages. Makes me want to bake up a lemon meringue.
    I'll look out for this place next time I'm in gay Paris!
    Thank you so much for the info on the Jardins de Luxembourg :)

    Love the photos, but need to ask what are the two on the right of? Wallpaper?

    I'd love to spend some time in Paris so I could just wander and find a place just like this one.

    You do such a great job of describing the different places you visit AND even provide a map on how to get there! I also love your collages and the way you lay out your pictures!

    I love coffee, but never drink it when I am away because I don't like the long life milk they use. I drink herbal teas instead. I do like the look of their meringue though.

    Oooohhh...I know EXACTLY where this place is, and have been meaning to go for a while, but haven't yet. I must go soon, that lemon meringue looks scrumptious! Also, please think of me when you have the next blogger meet up!

    Anne:
    Your descriptions, and wonderful pictures of your Parisian trip, have made me feel that I was with you.
    I love the idea of having a blogging chums meeting in Paris!

    Hi Anne,

    I feel your nostalgia as we pour over your Paris photos !
    Now, there's no way where you live that you could recreate this Paris tea house/ bistrot feeling !
    I remember that we were talking about that during your visit and how for you, a pub is just not the same.

    So... Anne has to return; OUI !!

    Take it easy,
    XXOO
