Paris Rouge - Le clown

Outside the Hôtel de Ville, there are always street artists of all kinds.

Bonjour!

Only in Paris, will you turn a corner and find two delightful clowns shaking hands with passersby!

Le Clown

Two very friendly clowns greeted passersby near the Hôtel de Ville that afternoon. A fine time for my battery to die. By the time I'd stopped to change it, they had gone on their way. Only in Paris...

In Paris, I'm always amused and entertained by the creative street artists. I love walking down a street or across a bridge and finding someone like this that makes me smile... and take a lot of photos!

Le Clown

This happy fellow was entertaining passersby around the Hôtel de Ville's ice rink during my last visit in January. Normally I always put a little change in their cup when I take a photo of street mimes or musicians. This day I was cold and tired and well, I didn't give him anything. I think I heard him say in French, "Madame, you are very cheap!"
