Last summer ma chère amie Mary took me on a wild goose chase ( I have no idea what THAT would be in French) to the 20 eme for the Grand Brocante. As I've shared previously, it left a lot to be desired but what it lacked in fine French antiques to be had for a song, it made up for with delightful people that we met along the way. This young boy was selling hot mint tea and baklava. Mary and I of course had to have some as he was just a delight as you can see here.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

He actually looks happy to be there! What a charming shot, V—but I love all your French strangers.
Is this the equivalent to a lemonade stand? ;)

He was so sweet and polite and the thé chaud was actually very good! In fact, I'm having some this morning as well!

He was adorable and IMHO it was a great excursion into a VERY non-touristy "hood" - AND we also discovered that charming little church cemetery where you took some mighty fine shots! Stick with me babe!
... and don't wander off! (jk)
This fella is a cutie and I would love what he is selling... nice portrait, V.
Have you gone with Mad to the pet cemetery yet?
Love hot mint tea!!! And Baklava!!!
He will grow to be a fine street merchandiser. When do you fly out
How much for a thé and a baklava?
Love the sweetness of this. 100 French strangers - wonderful! I'm doing 100 strangers, but I'm only on #10 as I have been for some time :{
