Cafe Inspirations: our weekend away in Paris

Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in ParisNow when we announced our big news last week, you have wondered what this cafe is going to look/feel like?! Let me share a glimpse of it through the french cafes and patisseries we visited on our weekend away in Paris. It was quite an inspiration!

Those who have been following us here for a while may know I love anything French (or specifically Parisian). Except the smell of urine in summer of course (those who visited Paris in summer will understand what I am talking about)! But seriously how good is french pastry, it is always worth visiting Paris any day! In the past I took french pastry baking classes, I read books on how to parent the french way and went through the “Little Paris Kitchen” book in a year. So yes, Parisian lifestyle is not all about the pastry, but also the culture and their relationship with food. Food is not only for nourishment and enjoyment but also for relationship building and this is what we hope to achieve here in our cafe 🙂.

We stayed by Canal Saint-Martin, walked around in 3rd and 11th districts, went on bike rides, visited Musée des arts et métiers, and ate in as many cafe’s as we could.Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in ParisCafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in ParisWe also had to experience going for a picnic. We bought some coffees and pastries and took it to this Park (Square du Temple – Elie Wiesel) and watched people dancing tango on the bandstand ;-).Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris And I had to include this pic, which depicts a very realistic instagram culture in Paris. This guy have spend good 15 min taking picture of this cupcake over the Canal Saint-Martin without feeling any awkwardness or public fear (or t least he did not look bothered). This really inspired me to take my sweet time when taking pictures in public. I tend to be quite nervous otherwise and want to end my photoshoot in public as soon as I got at least one ok pic. Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in Paris Cafe inspirations: our weekend away in ParisHave a lovely weekend, we are off to the wedding.
