Café Des Ambasade

quaintrelle
"I never take any notice to what common people say,
and I never interfere with what charming people do."
-- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray


Oh what I wouldn't give to live in 19th century Paris. To me, this lady epitomizes a quaintrelle, and look at the people at the café-- the man with the beret and ascot, everyone dressed to the nines. Sometimes I wish we still dressed up like this. Be extravagant for no reason. Dare to wear heels on cobblestone, and sit at a outside table with a pointy mustache and top hat. J'adore!
