0 'Little Paris'

Who knew?

Piles of Frenchie croissants right in South Kensington SW3

a 'Little Paris' in London. Bute Street off the Brompton road is full of Frenchie cafes, charcuteries, boucheries, papeteries, French book stores...oh an Italian gelaterie...
You'll hear lots of French spoken and see French kiddies with their au pairs, mainly because the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle is nearby... You think you're in London. You took the Eurostar from Paris.
But in fact you're in 'Little Paris' - well that's what I call it...

Clafoutis at PAUL, contact, 9" x 11"

There's a PAUL cafe just outside South Ken' Station where Frenchies and wannabe Frenchies grab a croissant and a demi...

Bute Street on Saturdays becomes a weekly marche loaded with French goodies..

Coq au vin...boef with vin rouge...you name it

True, the Frenchies will break down and don their English wellies if it's raining...

On the week-end they head to cafe Aubaine further down at 260 -262 Brompton Road for 'le brunch' If you are not dressed appropriately "Frenchie' forget about going...

Bien sur there are menu ardoise/blackboards with stacks of baguettes...

And bien sur there are MACARONS!! After all...

I had chocolat chaud, a croissant and multi-pots of very British jam. Was there a choice?

BONJOUR LITTLE PARIS!
