Mon Bon Chien

[menton1]

They have been springing up all over the US for the last 5 years, so it was just a matter of time before the most dog-friendly country in the world had one. Trying to emulate the success in the US of "3 Dog Bakery" and others, Mon Bon Chien opened 2 weeks ago in the 15th arr. of Paris.

Harriet Sternstein, an ex-pat, has devoted the last couple of years in planning, finding space, getting the permits, and hiring the right staff for her grand opening. Her Golden Retriever, Sophie, is the official greeter in the store. The specialties are many types of "pastries", the flavors include Ginger and Molasses, Bacon, Chicken, BBQ Beef, Biscotti, Peanut Butter, Vegetable and Garlic-Cheese-Parsley. They are all natural, and are also edible by humans.

There is also a dog boutique, with coats, carry bags, jewelry, and pooper scoopers "for a cleaner Paris". She also plans to have a salon for haircuts as well.

With a half-million dogs in Paris, this sounds like a "can't miss".

Lots of luck to Harriet, and I can't wait until my next visit to Paris to meet Harriet and Sophie and sample some of the "goodies"!!

I've always wanted to bring my dogs to a place like this, but we don't have one in Jersey. I doubt we'll ever bring the poodles to Paris, though. Maybe you can rent dogs there?
