Apparently the shop that sells falafels in the Marais, does a booming business. Students especially queue up halfway down the street waiting their turn at the window to order. We spotted this group who decided to just picnic on the sidewalk late one afternoon.

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.

One thing I can tell is we cannot sit like this on the streets; why? because the temperature in 40+degrees outside ! I have always envy countries with 4 seasons, I know the summer maybe sometimes really hot and dry in some countries, but the mild-weather days really allow you to sit outisde like this people !
Well, sometimes you have to do to get back to the good stuff. Great shot!
Ciao, may you enjoy the sun and the rain refresh you, and have a nice day.
Yes can vouch for the FALAFEL but not to sitting on the street........they are really good and as the secret is out we now have to go to the one up the road (still good) as I refuse to que!!

I can attest to the splendour of these falafels and the length of the queue!
Bonne semaine
PS love the back gound music. What is it please?
Great image V. The falafels must be tasty and good value to deserve these queues ant patience. Never understood falafels myself.
;)
They do it in everywhere, Spring is the picnic time!
Léia
Kosher falafels?!
Carla dear, you are the one that told us about them! Is it Chez Marianne?
Kate, that's funny! This is not where they purchased the falafels however.
Elizabeth, it's Julia's theme from Julie and Julie. Scroll down to the player and you can see the playlist. :)

wonderful music too, la chanson française, aime beaucoup but do not think the sidewalk kids would be interested ..

Great shot of la vie quotidienne! I'll go up the street to Carla's new place.... shhhh!
You can always tell if a place is a good place to eat by the number of people who eat there. Great shot. I love chickpeas...these sound wonderful! :)
Our local falafel stands are the same way! What is it about falafels? I'll have to try one of those things someday.
Did they queue up at L'as du Falafel, then take their yummy food somewhere on rue des Rosiers to enjoy it? (That's what my kids and I did last time we were in Paris. And even though we had an apartment about two doors up the street, my girls insisted on consuming their meal exactly like these kids did!)
It looks like they're blocking the door so no one can get in and eat all the falafels before them.
What? That is nuts.
I´ve never queued up for the falafels in Rue des Rosiers but every time I pass by I think "One day I´ll do it". BTW, I usually see a lot of people eating in the streets, on the benches in the parks...
I wonder if they are Spanish - I've noticed that Spanish students are always sitting on the ground! I suppose with the heat in Spain it's something they can do quite comfortably not like here in damp old Ireland!
