Ooopppsss, just read Alain's comment and smiled... Forgot to tell you that "faire le trottoir" is a common way of describing the "oldest profession in the world," V. :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Cold enough to wear coats and (fabulous) hats, but not too chilly to sit on the curb—they must be young! (And hurray for the "clean green" guys who come along with their brooms in the morning and make this possible.)
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.

Trottoir, peut-être, mais quand même beaucoup de chic.
A lunch in Paris is always chic! :)

Here on the shore we practice the "déjeuner plage".
It must be cold to sit on the ground like this..

I love to see women wear hats. You don't see that much here. I like the hat that the lady on the right is wearing the best...it's cute. :)
Have a great weekend! :)
Excellente photo ! ce jour-là le zoo avait ouvert la porte...

Great black and white photo. The contrasts are amazing! (frenchcravings.com)

Must be the latest thing.
