Midnight Dinner in Paris

Along the river Seine.

While in Paris for Fashion Week, I had the opportunity to stroll Paris at night. I took images along rue Frédéric Sauton which is the street in the movie The Devil Wears Prada (2006) on which Andy and Christian stroll, with Notre Dame Cathedral looming behind them. 

While I didn’t get to grab a cocktail, I did walk to the jazz club, Le Caveau de la Huchette, where they filmed scenes in the movie Funny Face (1957) starring Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn—also, less interestingly, this is the same jazz club featured in Lala Land (2016) .

After all that strolling and late night sightseeing, I was well beyond famished. Thankfully my wandering led me to the oldest cafe in Paris—Le Procope (1686), where I had the most delightful midnight meal. I even broke my no caffeine after 2PM rule to have a postprandial café au lait, because when in France…

When in France, is French Onion Soup just called Onion Soup? Doesn’t that sound less appetizing? No worries, this soup was insanely delicious.
