Midnight in Paris...


I've just found out about this new movie by Woody Allen, which takes place in... well, beautiful Paris of course!  It's described as a Comedy/Fantasy and I can't wait to see it!  Another described it as "...a comedic love letter to Paris."  
Here's the trailer, which certainly whets my appetite!  Paris looking all bright and summery.... accordian music floating on the warm breeze and Oh, who could that be?  Is it the divine Marion Cottilard looking every bit the dapper flapper and re-igniting my lust for all things 1920's! Oh la la!


The Passage below is the films synopsis, found on the official movie site.  Upon reading it, I feel as though this movie is really going to speak to me, on more levels than one...

"This is a romantic comedy set in Paris about a family that goes there because of business, and two young people who are engaged to be married in the fall have experiences there that change their lives. It's about a young man's great love for a city, Paris, and the illusion people have that a life different from theirs would be much better.

Parisian Cafe Fabulousness

 I seem to be constantly imagining myself in Paris, more so than usual lately... just dreaming the day away in some fantastic bohemian cafe, like these fabulous French flappers...


If you find yourself wandering the streets of Montmartre, you may may stumble upon this quaint little cafe - Cafe les Deux Moulins...



If you take a peek inside, you may be lucky enough to see one lovely little Amelie... so cute!
Oh look, she is bringing you a coffee...


 This cafe pictured below, Le Pure Cafe, may look familiar to all those romantics out there...not sure if you've been here before? Maybe in your dreams?


Jesse and Celine, there you are! If you haven't seen the film Before Sunset, now is the time... you'll be lost in pure Parisian perfection... but for now,we enjoy the cafe...


 Goodbye Jesse and Celine, and for now, back to Montmartre, to Le Consulat... this picture below is heaven for a dreamer like me...imagine yourself wandering the cobblestone streets, eating a crepe dripping with sugary butter...


After meandering the little alleyways of Montmartre, I think this looks like a nice place to rest our weary little feet... 


Le Poulbot looks like a cute cafe, don't you think? Also in Montmartre, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the square. I think I'll stay here for now... I could go on forever about Parisian cafes, and cafes in general... but let's sit and ponder on this taste of cafe reverie for now...
