Rue Bonaparte

Rue Bonaparte1, original art, 9" x 11"
One street I know really well is rue Bonaparte in "The Latin Quarter" 6th Arr.

Shall we go for a stroll..?

Oooops! What is New York's Kiehls doing here?

and right next to patisserie Pierre Herme at #72 rue Bonaparte!
HUMPH

Ages ago before it went upscale I used to stay, in a garrett at Hotel Bonaparte conveniently right across the street from Pierre Herme. Course there were no passion fruit macarons back then...

Just to the right of the hotel is now a YSL Rive Gauche boutique. That wasn't there either...

If you walk down rue Bonaparte towards the Seine you can't miss Cafe Les Deux Magots with some of the best chocolat chaud in my experience (next runner up to Angelina).

Keep on walking and another hot chocolate awaits you...

Served in an entirely different manner at Cafe Le Bonaparte...

Across the street is book publisher Assouline and a favorite jewelry boutique, Fabrice. Their windows are always a witty surprise.

For a 3rd hot chocolate...

And macarons try Laduree at the corner of rue Jacob.

After all these goodies you better just keep on walking all the way to La Defense.

Allons-y!

BONJOUR WEEK-END!
