Paris & DC: A Tale of Two Cities at Patisserie Poupon

At Patisserie Poupon, where the scent of butter and sugar has welcomed dreamers for decades, a new visual feast is ready to unfold.

This season, the pastry cases aren’t the only things inviting you to linger. Artists Marie-B Cilia De Amicis and Bob Burgess bring two cities, two spirits, and two worlds to the café walls.

Bob’s photographs capture Washington, DC with a thoughtful, grounded eye—its lines, its light, its quiet moments of grandeur. Marie-B offers Paris, seen through her poetic lens—elegant, unexpected, and filled with the fleeting beauty she chases so well.

Together, DC and Paris meet in a dialogue of contrast and harmony, transforming the patisserie into a passageway between continents.

Step inside for a croissant, stay for the art. Let the aroma of French pastries guide you into this transatlantic conversation—a pairing of two cities, captured by two artists, and perfectly at home in the timeless charm of Patisserie Poupon.
