Provisions in Paris, Ile St Louis..

While getting provisions in Paris, Robes and I have our little things we like.....
The first day he went to the market alone and got things HE wanted..... I think because
I had been there in Sept while he watched the shop.....Then when I saw what he arrived at the apartment with I saw a few things missing....... So, we headed down to Ile St Louis.... 
This is a restaurant on Rue De L'Ile 
  Sign not too enticing....

But look at what in hanging in the window..... All fresh!!!!!!!  NO Plastique food thank you very much. 
 I was ready to crunch on some of those gorgeous radishes....They serve them with a little unsalted butter.

But I was on a mission,,,, I wanted some Point L'Eveque cheese.....Hit Paydirt here!!!!!!

Also you will notice the terrine de lapin is missing.....
That is because the young gentleman was cutting a petite morseau pour MOI.
AND they had Proscuitto San Danielle.........YUMM!!!!!! 
 And wine so we didn't have to make an extra stop.


This was where we got the flowers From Patrick Allain........

So Pretty


Snapdragons??? We got Hyacinths, roses, and orchids...... And a bouquet of Fuschia colored flowers. 
 I blogged on his shop a few weeks ago.



I have know idea what happened here but I liked it so here you go.....
Maybe I was reeling from the fragrance.  Literally.

Down on the corner was Le Regis Blanc a great restaurant/bar., where we could not only  nab a baguette on the way home but suck up a fabulous fresh mint Mojito.

I saw on the mirror they have bouillabaisse........Will definitely try that next time.

Soooo Fun.  Wait staff were easy on the eyes too....... Nice....

If I was in Paris Parte Quatre



If I was in Paris the provisioning of the apartment would include fragrant flowers and bougies or candles.
I know the 'New Panetone" color of the year is orange. 
 Looks like Mother Nature beat them to it with this rose bouquet in a little teapot
with a dragonfly on it.


I think I would love the different shades of pink in this bouquet.


Sooo cheerful.!


I think I would get an orchid branch for the "Zen" bathroom,
no vases left so I would just put in a coffee cup.


It would be the time of year for hyacinths, Love their fragrance and the color... 
 This would look nice on the secretary.

These would be purchased here, the little shop on Ile St Louis.

Then over to Durance for bougies....


I would pick the Poudre de Riz or Rice Powder candle.  So clean and fresh!

They have body products as well as fragrances. The design of the shops is gorgeous.
The outside in grey and taupes. Pictures of the shop from the website of the talented designer of the
Durance shops in Paris http://www.charlesdedainville.fr/ Go there to see other lovely Durance shops in Paris.
If I was in Paris I would have bought some bath things too. If I was in Paris.


I think I can almost smell this!!!!!!
