I think part of the charm of little French children is that they don't wear pink/purple puffy nylon coats. The French seem to put their children in real wool and cotton. And it shows.

She seems happier to wear the traditional "cagoule" than I was as a child. I hated how that thing always lay flat on my head (and ears!) :-) Good to see that in children fashion, like in many other things, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose..." :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Another wonderful portrait, V! I was thinking the same as Roseann—even les gosses are dressed in classic Gallic style. This little guy is very handsome indeed, but he looks like he could go for a chocolat chaud!
Are French kids cuter than all the others? It has something to do with the pale skin, but lots of northern Europeans (and their American descendants) share that. In the end, I think it is the fact that they speak French, which is impossibly cute.
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.
