Another Saturday In Bordeaux

I spent this Saturday wandering the Iranian quarter of Bordeaux, eating baklava and zulbia and watching the tram workers protest Sarkozy's pension reform which changes the retirement age from 60 to 62.

The Fair: A little bit of home

We went to the fair Friday night

it was a lot of fun

so American

and yet so French

So quintessentially French!

Café: Pain and Cie

Pain & Cie (64 Rue des Remparts) is on of my favorite cafés in Bordeaux, they have great café au lait served in adoreable bowls, and the croques (monsieur, salmon and vegetarian) are excellent. It's adorable both inside and out, with big wooden tables and warm lighting.  

 croque monsieur and croque vegetarian.

I traveled to Toulouse this weekend with the usual suspects, it as absolutly beautiful. Here's Nancy enjoying our lunch at L'Autre Salon de Thé.

A Grey Saturday

It was a lovely gray Saturday, I sipped café au lait and eat the perfect croque monsieur at Pain & Cie, browsed record stores and wandered the beautiful city I know call home.
