Stumbled upon this extremely quaint and charming tea shop since the original breakfast place we…read morewanted to go to was closed for vacation. The inside of the shop is filled with books and old records. However, there was plenty of outdoor seating; I'm so glad we had the opportunity to sit down here. They have teas from all over the world and homemade tea as well. The tea shop owner was very friendly. If you want something very light, have a desire to take in France, and want to chat with friends, this is the place to stop by at. I wish the states had more places like this.

You don't really have that problem in Paris since the skies are so grey, but it's true, talking to someone you first meet while wearing shades can come off as a little bit snob. So inside the charming, book-filled cafe at a cute corner table, I followed my companion's lead and ordered a home made ice tea not expecting much but it was fantastic.Thirst-quenching, well-dosed and just a wee bit sweet, I downed it and immediately ordered another.

Is this the same "La Provence" magazine which was being published in 1967? I would love to get a…read morecopy of an issue that came out in the Spring of 1967 when the singer Adamo was making his first film at Aix-en-Provence called "Les Arnauds" with comic Bouvril. I was studying at Aix at the time, and I had the good fortune of working as a student "extra" in the film. "La Provence" did a special about Adamo's movie being filmed in Aix along with photos.
