Starbucks In Paris?
Seriously... WTF?
I was walking down St. Michel Boulevard this afternoon with Frogger (as we made our way to the Notre Dame) and I noticed something that should not be here...
A Starbucks!
Then, a few blocks later...
Another one!
And then I saw at least two more throughout the afternoon. And then...
Another one on the walk home from dinner tonight!
I guess I always assumed that because there are wonderful cafes in Paris, they would never allow a Starbucks into the area. I mean, I've never seen a Pret A Manger here. Only in London and NYC. So, to see a coffee chain like Starbucks here was a bit disappointing... And that coming from a Starbucks addict!!!
I must say, though, that I would rather see a Starbucks in Paris than in Rome. If they ever show up in the Eternal City, I may never go back. That would just break my heart.

If you get a croissant in a Starbucks in Paris, does it come from their international supplier? If so, that's just wrong....
The good news is that a quick search of their website reveals that Italy is still a Starbucks free zone.
We miss you!!! Kepp having fun and sending pics!
