Well, if he works at La Comédie Française, he could be an actor... dressed for the part ;-) I would ask him two questions: 1. Monsieur, are these real tatouages (tatoos) ? 2. Où est garée la Harley? (where did you park the Harley?) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Hehe, maybe he's NOT a parisian!:o)
With his ink and emblems, this fellow would almost qualify for one of your Paris Rouge photos, V.
Someone needs a hug.
Rats! Shell beat me to my comment! I too think he has a touch of Paris Rouge!
Quite at odds with the beautiful balcony.
Great capture and it would have lost its "flavor" in b/w... Paris rouge, indeed!
Looks a bit like Ricky Gervase when he was pudgy
Great capture, V! I say he's an actor, in full costume. And I'll go out on a limb here and guess that they are NOT doing "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme."
Haha! his Mum loves him Virginia!! Great catch.
What were the Hell's Angels doing in Paris?
He's an interesting, colorful chap, non?
Bonjour d'Eagan, chere V de B!
Well now...he's someone's tres chic!!!
And not all Parisians have the best macarons in hand, because my boss just handed me the BEST one I've ever eaten! From Miette in San Francisco.
Awesome photo op! I know a few French guys who look just like this. :)
This one is great, Virginia. I wish I took it. When do you go to Paris?
V, You never fail to surprise and amaze us! Great "catch", so to speak, in so many ways.
The people I see in Paris are usually much more elegant, he really sticks out, especially on the balcony of the Comédie Francaise!
