Thanks, LL ~ I'm guessing you've tasted more than a few of these in your time.

This is darling. LL

Will someone please try out this eating snails theory and let me know how it goes? ;)

Until then, I'll just look at this lovely drawing.

Genie ~ and I'll bet your photos are beauties!...

Genie ~ and I'll bet your photos are beauties! Maybe we can see them over at your place sometime...

Hiker ~ I'm glad to know there aren't any furs in that closet.

I'm a closet fan of PETA's.

Shell, I have not eaten here but have the photo shots too. Bring on the escargots. Je les aime! Merci!

Margaret ~ heh heh! Actually, that bunch scares me a bit, but if I can help animals in any way, I'm glad about that.

But who would want to eat such cute little snails. I think this might be a secret PETA promotion. Maybe?

Katie ~ slow weekend or otherwise, September will be here before we know it!

Thanks, Ms M ~ may you find snails on your plate this weekend rather than in your garden. :)

Love your snails; the one in the center looks quite proud :)
And I have always enjoyed escargot! Nice way to start the weekend.

Lovely illo Shell (from a wonderful photo Cali!) of a place I too have walked by many times and never stopped in. I like snails (as V says, anything drowning in garlic butte is delish) so maybe I'll finally try this place in September. Thank you for your "slow it down" advice -- I hope the weekend lasts a long time for all of us!

The GyPsY ~ I've tried them locally, cooked by a French chef ~ but now that I've drawn them, I don't know if I could eat them again. :)

Thanks, Virginia ~ I figure it's usually a safe bet for me to run with Francophile Friday. x

Cali ~ I'm happy you like it! It was a toss up between this angle and the other, but I opted for the Tenin slant. ;)

Alexa ~ I hope it's slow, too ~ as it turns out, I have a lot to squoosh into it.

Hiker ~ putting a little smile on just about anything makes it harder to eat.

Thanks, Petrea! Those photos are wonderful, aren't they {as was Cali's, though she denies it}.

I love these old French restaurants (the website photos are worth a look). Your illo makes snails adorable, if food can be adorable. I say to eat them is une bonne idée.

Charming!

2010-07-24T01:12:44.512+10:00

I'd love to think that focusing on your charming (as always) interpretation of this place will make the weekend pass more slowly—and as V so wisely points out, it's all good with garlic butter!
Hope your weekend is super, and slow.

2010-07-24T01:07:53.322+10:00

This looks so much better than the photo! The snails even look cuddly and almost, but not quite, edible! I have yet to taste the little critters.

Thanks for choosing my photo to illustrate, Shell. I am now off to compare the photo with this most charming illo!

2010-07-24T00:49:42.045+10:00

Oh I think draaaggggginnnngggg Francophile Friday out is a bon (bonne?) idea! Love this illo. I"ve walked by this place but not eaten there. I have tried the critters and all I can say is ANYTHING is trés bon (bonne?) if slatered in garlic butter.

Every time I go to Paris, I think about trying escargot .. but I never manage to do more than just think. I can't wrap my mind around eating them :-(
Great art as usual
