La Belle Limonaudiere au Cafe des Mille Colonnes, Palais Royal, Paris

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to travel back in time to a really fancy café in Paris. Can you say "Bonjour?" That means hello in French! nn We're looking at a painting called La Belle Limonaudiere au Cafe des Mille Colonnes, Palais Royal, Paris. That's a very long name, isn't it? It's like a tongue twister! This painting is like a photograph from a long time ago, from the year 1814! nn Look at all the people! What do you think they are doing? It looks like they are having a good time, doesn't it? See the pretty lady in the blue dress? She's called "La Belle Limonaudiere." She's looking at a menu. I wonder what she's going to order? Maybe a lemonade? nn Can you find the waiter? He's wearing an apron. What do you think he's bringing to the table? Maybe some yummy pastries or a pot of tea! nn Look closely at the painting. Do you see all the details? There are flowers on the tables and beautiful statues in the background. The artist wanted to show us how fancy and elegant this café was. It's like taking a peek into the past! nn What else do you see in the painting? What do you think it would be like to visit a café like this?
