Hi Virginia, I love your blog and your photography - wonderful! I too love Paris and wish I could go more often. Will definitely be one of your followers! Paige
They have an art all their own, don't they? But can you tell me, just under the KIWI on the left, what is that symbol - it appears to equal (=) 0.40 Euros. And what does FRA stand for?

I love these signs too! As well as all of your Saturday sign posts. All of your posts, actually. Could never choose a favorite. All equally wonderful. Have a beautiful Sunday Virginia! :)
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.

Yes it is nice that handwritten signs continue to be used...
Il y a souvent de grosses fautes d'orthographe, mais c'est encore plus drôle.
C'est là tout le charme français...
Gros bisous

Oui, I love them too. Wish vendors in the US would adopt the idea.

Wishing I could shop any of the Paris markets today! Love the chalkboard signs...

What is a clemanville?
Starman -- perhaps a clemanville is just a citified clementine. I love these signs too, V -- and I miss them too!
