Eating Lunch on the Metro...

Metro Saint-Sulpice, original watercolor, 9" x 11"

Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing..

I'm not talking about actually eating on the Metro, though I've seen it done often enough...ahem

I'm talking about eating ON TOP of Metro place mats!!!
Like the ones I bought at La Vaissellerie at "Saint-Sulpice"85, rue de Rennes 75006, last trip. At first I was a little disappointed by their rather stark graphic aesthetics. But then lunchtime became a trip in itself full of plotting and planning of future Paris trips.
One way or another I always seem to drop into La Vaissellerie to check out their latest treasures...
And with 4 boutiques in Paris proper it's pretty easy to stumble on a shop...
When I was smitten with French chocolate pots, I found this lovely number at Vaissellerie...
The nice thing is they have tons of stuff to put on top of your Metro place mat that will make you feel you're having a very Frenchie petit dejeuner like these chocolate bols...
Or these polka-dot cups.
Why are polka-dots so Frenchie?
I got some of these magnet Paris street signs bien sur...

But I resisted the Provencal sachets...

Just next door on rue de Rennes you can grab a chausson aux pommes (my new fixation)

At this gorgeous no-name boulangerie that a PB reader says has great sandwiches as well...

And around the corner on rue du Vieux Columbier, you can find all sorts of other Metro paraphrenalia at a papeterie...

I don't think this Paris dog is wearing a ballerine-just one red rain bootie...

But if you do cross rue de Rennes directly across, you will find these not so bad and rock-bottomed priced ballerines! I meant to go back for the grey ones....

Paris dogs in the Metro don't have to bother reading maps - that is one advantage they have...

BONJOUR LUNDI!
