A Dog’s Life at Café Conti

Follow Me on Pinterest

Café Conti is the place where Gal Pal Lisa winds up having a late breakfast or early lunch after she sleeps in and misses having breakfast with the rest of us at the hotel. Usually she has a “proper” cup of English tea while we head out to scope out our shopping prospects for the day, but this past trip I joined her for a bite.
Surprisingly delicious and affordable, this café has excellent service. Open early, this charming place has an added bonus – an adorable mascot. Orson is one cute pooch who belongs to the owner of Café Conti. He hangs out greeting guests with a wag of his tail or indifference. I have seen him for years walk past me at Cafė de Paris as he checks in to say hello to his local favorites. He then waltzes past the shellfish vendor, stops to smell the new flowers at the flower stand before his rendezvous with his owner back at the café.

Locks of Love Parisian Style

Follow Me on Pinterest

Much has been written about the padlocks of love attached to Pont de l’Archevêché in Paris. Couples in love write their initials or messages on them and affix them to the bridge symbolizing their desire to stay locked in love and return in the future. Many think it an eyesore, but I love the idea! To me it’s a huge ongoing modern art project built with love – what could be more beautiful than that?

Location of Pont de l’Archevêché: The bridge links the 4th Arrondissement, at the Île de la Cité, to the 5th Arrondissement, between the quai de Montebello and the quai de la Tournelle.
