2 Cafe Pouchkine

Cafe Pouchkine Chocolat Chaud, watercolor, 9" x11"
Why ever did I not get Cafe Pouchkine's fabulous pastries...
Is beyond me.
Not even one multi-colored macaron...
Passed my lips - quelle tragedie indeed...

Granted I was there for breakfast/petit dejeuner...

And I did wolf down a lovely orangie viennoisserie thing...

Mainly I'd come for a cup of lush, thick chocolat chaud served in a traditional chocolatier with traditional beater/le moulinet...

Nearby Parisians were having dessert for breakfast (what clever ducks) but insanely drinking Coca-Cola! Why ever do Parisians adore Coke? Karl Lagerfeld has been plastered on 3+ bottles. Some French trends/tendances are completement nuts non?

Cafe Pouchkine is located in a far corner of Printemps ground floor. Don't hesitate to go in for a delightful respite from shopping and browsing.

I'd advise you to leave your gun at home, even if Printemps saw fit to include it (on the chair) in their vitrine setup next to a Cafe Pouchkine table. Same goes for the RED lipstick on the rim of the cup...

BONJOUR CAFE POUCHKINE!
