L'Annexe sur Paris

23/05/2025: It's a charming place, a little ambiguous, and perhaps therefore pleasant. The waiters are both pleasant and sinister, familiar enough to put you at ease but reserved enough to leave you alone. It's home to intellectual Sorbonne students, wandering moviegoers, passersby, and a few friendly locals, too. The music is great—old rock, blues, a bit of psychedelic music, and other slightly old-fashioned things that are a pleasure. And then—the food is very good, simple and heartwarming. In short—to say it again—it's a pleasure.

20/05/2025: I visited Café le Reflet in early May, invited by friends who study nearby. Their recommendation couldn’t have been better — everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices pleasantly reasonable. A special thank you to the staff — they were truly lovely, and their warmth created a remarkable atmosphere in the place. For a moment, I felt like I had stepped into a film (or maybe I was just romanticizing my time in Paris a little too much — who knows, hehe). The music was wonderful too. I’m not sure who’s in charge of the playlist, but whoever it is clearly has excellent taste. Before leaving, I snapped a photo of one of the guys who works there during his break, chatting with an adorable little boy. It might just be one of my favorite pictures from my Paris collection. If by any chance this photo ever finds its way to him — that would make me smile. Sending greetings from Prague, Yulia ✨
