Weekend Reflections: le café la pêche


General Leclerc street reflected in the "fisher's café" near Saint-Louis cathedral, where fishing gear can also be acquired. A long, long time ago, you could buy yourself a bock for 15 centimes...
This is my contribution to James' Weekend reflections.

La rue du Général Leclerc reflétée dans le café la pêche, où l'on peut aussi acquérir des cannes et épuisettes, près de la cathédrale Saint-Louis. Un bock à 15 centimes de franc, c'était il y a bien longtemps ! C'est ma contribution aux Reflets du Weekend de James.

    I like your reflection very much, the letters and numbers over the building reflection.

    That is really a beautiful reflection. I like the look of the reflected old buildings against the old bock sign.
    This is a super post, great job!

    This is a wonderful window reflection. You can see both inside and out. It is a marvelous cafe and the fishing gear is a bonus.

    Jolie contribution... je me disais aussi: que peut-on acquérir pour 15 centimes d'euro? lol
    Un carambar au détail peut-être?

    Real vintage sign and a very good reflection. I think they could easily drop the cent sign for the Euro one, and everything will be fine.

    Hi, Thanks for visiting my blog! I really like your shot today. Windows are great reflective surfaces, and the lettering adds another dimension.

    Ciel, that reflection photo is outstanding! Not only do you have great colors and contrast, but the texture is so intriguing! It looks framable to me :)

    About the Chinook and whales, I found online (quoted from a member of the Chinook) that it's not clear whether the Chinook actively hunted whales. They did scavenge them on the beaches, and there's a diorama at Fort Clatsop of them doing just that. It seems the whalers were the tribes north of here.

    Also, I found a page online saying that the whales had reached high numbers again and in 2004 or 2006 (I forgot which) the ban on Native American hunting of them was lifted.

    Very nice reflection. I'm assuming a bock refers to a brewed beverage such as beer. Or, is my ignorance showing again?

    Very nice. The texture and the graphics combine to give real character to your image.

    I love it! The reflection made the bookstore sign look so spooky!

    Un café multifonction......On dirait même la devanture d'une ancienne boulangerie, non ?
    Insolite......

    There is a lot of nostalgia in this reflection, I also love the old lantarn.

    "Bock" fait partie de mon vocabulaire et j'aime bien ("pisser un bock" par exemple...)
    Ce mot j'ai eu le plaisr de le lire dans Bel Ami de Maupassant. Merci pour tes recherches qui ne tombent pas dans l'oeil d'une aveugle...

    15 centimes?! ça laisse rêveur..
    j'aime l'idée de ce bar lié à la boutique de pêche, l'un dans l'autre et l'un après l'autre. ça a l'air d'un endroit plein de charme!
