Parisian tearooms

Angelina: Frescos of pastoral scenes, a rich hot chocolate with whipped cream, Mont-Blanc pastries, belle époque dresses, coffee-to-go in a pastel pink cup, lemon meringue tarts, mornings on the Rue de Rivoli, wrapping yourself in a faux fur coat, croissants and pain au chocolats on an etagere, herringbone floors, a walk in the Jardin des Tuileries with your lover, meringue towers

Lily of the Valley: The elegant chaos of Le Marais, walls of white-painted stones, the clutter of grandmother’s porcelain, flowers hanging from the ceilings, summer picnics, reading flowery poetry on the Square du Temple, lipstick kisses on the mirror, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, listening to Debussy on a quiet afternoon, old-fashioned wallpaper, homemade cakes in large bell jars

Café Pouchkine: A trip to Moscow, golden chandeliers reflecting in mirrors, medovik cakes, old perfume bottles, a busy morning on the Place de la Madeleine, caviar and champagne, matryoshka pastries, reading Eugene Onegin in a Parisian café, rose raspberry eclairs, starry nights, shopping at Le Printemps, coffee stains on the table, wallowing in nineteenth century splendour

Nina’s Paris: A marble bust of Marie Antoinette, pink marzipan cakes, fête de Versailles tea, whispering je t’aime into someone’s ear, pink and gold dragées, singing letters with yours sincerely, a picnic in a castle’s garden, drinking from a gold-tinted tea cup, a night at the opera, apple-flavoured chocolates, powder puffs, window-shopping on the Place Vendôme, the romance of rose trees

Café Jacquemart-André: A first date in museum’s tea room, grand hôtel particuliers, breakfast with Stohrer pastries, classical music playing in another room, a glass of dark red wine, the effortless elegance of a Parisienne, worn paperbacks, drinking orange tea in the winter garden, cheese platters with red berries, a walk down the Boulevard Haussmann, monogrammed porcelain, the mosaic designs of the art nouveau
