Today's is the first in a series of three posts, The Good, The Bad, and The Ridiculous.
So. The Good.
La Maison Renaise is my new favorite place. It's a house. Really. That now houses a perfect café. The owner, Laurent, is charming. The coffee, 5 or 6 roasts, is excellent. The pastries (flan, brownies, chocolate tart, lemon tart, crème brûlée...) are home-made. There are 25-or 30 kinds of tea. There are swanky coffee table books all over the place.
There are tables and chairs (handy) for sitting and couches and cushy chairs for lounging.
It's exactly 8 minutes from my house on foot.
When you're in the neighborhood - La Maison Renaise, 23 rue Renaise, Laval.
If I'm not at home, I'm probably there.

La Maison Renaise sounds like you're little piece of heaven. Does La Maison Renaise have internet capabilities. . .or should we expect fewer posts due to your new favorite place??
i'm sure i'll get dragged there on my next visit...speaking of visits...is it official yet?!?!?!
Beth - Posting frequency shall not be influenced by La Maison Renaise.
Christina - Tickets haven't been bought because of your godson's passport but, yes, it's official. And yes, you'll be spending much time there next time you come over.

Can you stop with the 'let's put Doc in a diabetic coma' theme? homemade goodies...bah! Evil wench.
Do they serve my kind of refreshments or pastry, if not then I am not going.
Laurent - Je n'ai dit que la verité cher vieux monsieur. Et le plaisir est reciproque.
Doc - Tomorrow will be about bad food, I promise.
Zeb - I forgot to mention the delicious ice cream and chocolates. You're going buster.
I am so jealous! Why can't someone open a lovely cafe in Restigne? All we have is a farmer's bar. Enjoy your good fortune, Nicole!
Sounds fab.
