Part of the adventure of exploring a city is stumbling across places spontaneously that aren't on the list. Steph and I came across such a place : Mamie Gâteaux that we both agreed is a real Parisian gem. We met a kind and adorable French man working at a cafe who unlocked the door to our window peeking curiosity a few doors down. Come to find out, he and his wife (who is Japanese) own them all.
They have a cafe, which I read about later has wonderful tea and baked goods -- still kicking myself for not eating there.
A boutique full of his wife's Japanese styled and handmade aprons, towels, chocolate, candies and jam.
and a Brocante full of lots of vintage French goodness. All so utterly charming!! It was delightful to see the excellent pairing of French + Japanese cultures and styles mingled together, an absolute favorite combo.
