Rita Crane Photography: Paris / historic cafe / left bank / night / architecture / street / cobblestones / Relais Odeon, Paris
Best viewed large to enjoy the amazing details of this window which is a work of art www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=522608460&size=o.
The Relais Odeon (Bistro 1900) is located on one of Paris' oldest little squares - La Cour du Commerce St. Andre'. At night it greets you with cheerful lighting and warm wood interior and exterior. You can see the lights shining inside, so very inviting. Not visible at this size is the fact that the signs on either side of the window are actually made of mosaic tiles. Lovingly designed and beautifully crafted, these signs are made of thousands of little mosaic pieces that you can see in the large size I posted.
The cobblestone here is some of the most ancient of Paris and escaped being torn out, unlike much of Paris' cobblestones were after the Commune of 1870 or the 1968 student demonstrations.
Just a few steps away is the Cour de Rouan, and Le Procope, Paris' oldest traditional cafe serving coffee.
