Il est vrai que si les serveurs avaient un compteur on s'apercevrait qu'ils auraient fait un sacré nombre de kilomètres dans la journée !... Une très jolie capture. Gros bisous
Seeing this and reading your post, V, a little seafood cafe I like popped into my head. When the owner has had enough, they start stacking chairs on the tables around you - and 'enough' can arrive as early as 8:00pm. Lucky his food is so good!
I can't imagine standing on my feet all day smiling and being at the mercy of customers. I give anyone who does this job my utmost respect and admiration. I hope the patrons tip good! :)
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.

I do like the way the cafes in Paris face the chairs towards the street. Enjoy the coffee, watch and be watched.
It seems Jean-Claude is making his final check, non?
Bon weekend, chere V de B!
What a fun night that was with friends! Great capture and quick reflexes, mon amie.

Have a great weekend, V. :)
Apparently, Kristie has never been to France.
Not an easy job...
God bless you!

Ah, but I loved sitting in those seats with an espresso and croissant watching the people walk by, and enjoying the sunshine.
Brilliant b&w shot Virginia. Starman's comment made me laugh!
