rue Mouffetard is always special. We make a point of taking all of our visitors there and they all love it. Early in the day the market is exciting, at night it has a romantic atmosphere, Place de la Contrescarpe has a Hemingwayesque appearance and feel and last but not least Le Mouffetard restaurant is about as authentic as they get for market street cafés. So, even when the street performers are not there it is well worth a visit. On many Saturday mornings you can find me at Le Contrescarpe either writing or sketching, something is always going on!
Quartier phare de la ville de Paris pour les touristes. N'est-ce pas là, que, vos tous premiers pas parisiens, vous ont guidés ? Bon dimanche, ma chère, où vos pas vont-ils vous guider aujourd'hui '¨
You can see they're really into the performance.

ReplyDeleteLa rue Mouffetard est plus connue pour ses restaurants grecs que pour ses accordéonistes. Le marché reste cependant très pittoresque.
ReplyDeleteI love this . . . oh, how I wish I were there to hear them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :)
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Belles gueules de titis parisiens.

Je me suis * gourée* de poste... Le commentaire pour le quartier phare, aurait du être publié à Montmartre !
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous shot, V! I'd love to know what they were singing.
ReplyDeleteLike a blast from the past! I was walking on that very rue last Saturday.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would have loved to have seen (and heard) them...
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, dear Virginia!

His glance is disconcerting... the portrait is great!
