Rue Cler et L'Eclair

On Rue Cler- the street of cute cafes, picturesque flower shops, and quaint hotels. And unbeknownst to me, a fabulous antique market.

A brunch Saturday! Went with Emily and Aubrey to enjoy a nice day out in Paris and trying out a lovely new cafe. While Hannah had recommended this one over text, we unknowingly picked it as our place to dine (or in my case, to try a new hot cocoa) because it was so cute.

We sat in the covered outdoor section under the striped awning and packed into the corner with a window view of the neighboring flower shop. We ordered in French, and despite our mishap over some particularly hard French words, the waiter (not bad on the eyes, mind you) kept responding in French. Youpi!

My chocolat chaud came as a steaming little pitcher of milk and a Banania tin! I loved it! A French staple since 1914, Banania is a chocolate powder with a controversial African guy as the logo. My host fam has a tin in their kitchen and I love it!

Ems and Aubs ordered the cheapest food on the menu which I actually might have to go back for- a wooden plank with toast covered in scrambled eggs and diced bacon. Yum! 9 euros and really yummy! I hate being a cheap-skate when really, I could be out dining like this every once in a while. Some things gotta give :)

Eventually, our terrace filled up with some good-looking men and then a smoker so we asked for l'addition and left. What a fabulous Parisian Samedi.
