Sunday Date

Yesterday I had plans to meet up with Grace, from Will She Love Paris?, and Edna, from Expat Edna. Our original plan was to overindulge in delicious pastries at Jacques Genin but as you probably can tell from the photos above we didn’t exactly end up there. Due to an ongoing photo shoot we had to relocate our little Sunday date and instead we ended up at a cute little café near St Paul called La Favorite.

Don’t worry! We managed with pizza, French toast and some yummy pancakes. Even Diane, from the blog Diane, a broad, heard about our little brunch date and decided to spontaneously join our group!

Since we only were a few steps away from newly discovered L’Éclair de Génie we decided that it almost would be wrong not to stop for a little dessert. Caramel beurre salé, chocolat au lait mangue banane, praliné and chocolat avec coco were the flavours that caught our eyes.

A walk along the Seine couldn’t be avoided when the sun finally decided to pop out for a minute. Suddenly you could remember that spring actually existed and that it wouldn’t be rain and -4°C all year long.

To my delight Diane took us to La Caféothèque for a little coffee break, which I somehow have missed even though it’s just a minute or so away from my old Parisian apartment. Great place to visit if you’re looking for a cup of delicious coffee and cosy atmosphere!

After that we parted ways and I started to make my way back home. When you have these gorgeous views on your way home you don’t really want to go down underground and take the métro…

And I’m glad I didn’t because then I would have missed this beautiful Parisian sky. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself a little bit, or just stop for a while and look out over all of this to actually realise where you are.

A couple of last days I have started this hunt for blogs that I would like to read and I must admit this is the first blog I fall in love with. I love Paris utterly as well and maybe one day I will also move there. The photographs are wonderful and moreover your text is also beautiful to read. You will be seeing me around .

Absolutely wonderful photographs Carin. One can never get bored of the views available in Paris and to go on the Metro is to deprive yourself!

Gorgeous photos. How funny that I saw the first few pics and thought, “Hmm, that looks familiar.” Well, but of course, because I’ve been there! La Favorite is a nice cafe! I was there for dinner though, not breakfast.

I love the cozy decor of Le Caféothèque, but if you find yourself near rue Babylone, I think Coutume Café has the best coffee in Paris. They also have a lovely staff and lots of pastries.

  Yes, it’s so pretty Café Coutume is just wonderful as well!

Your posts including all those photos of an amazingly beautiful Paris are my daily dose of happiness as well as a huge source of inspiration and they allow me to escape from by daily life right now (I love to celebrate daydreaming).
They convince me that moving to Paris this year will be the right choice to make I still over think all the disadvantages such as financial aspects (the cost of living,the horrendous rents,etc.) and I really have to figure out how to arrange myself once I decide to move there for sure.But when I see your pictures my worries are blown away in less than a second and I convince myself that I will make it somehow,because I know I belong to this beautiful place on earth. I owe you a big thank you for that Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Bonne soirée!

Still my all-time favourite blog!

I moved to Paris just under a month ago and your blog gives me so many great tips of places to go (mostly for food!!) – it’s perfect! I just started writing my own Paris blog, its only a baby right now but I hope one day it will become something I can be proud of!
