100 French Strangers - Attention!!!


French Stranger #70

This skillful waiter at Ma Bourgogne was a stranger the first day I arrived, but after that he took very good care of me whenever I stopped by for a glass of wine or dinner.

PS ... and he never dropped the first glass!

And for my dear friends that have followed my new baby kitty, read all about how she got her cute name and see what my dear friend Shell has created. You too can buy her artwork here!

    How amazing. He does look like he's concentrating, and if there's ever a time to concentrate, this would be it! Lovely capture, V. {And the pleasure was mine... here's to you and dear Meeps.}

    Brilliant shot! How he is managing that I will never know! I can barely balance 3 plates on my arm, nevermind that many glasses!

    I am just back from Paris myself, I have some images up now, that I said I'd tell you about! :)

    Also, regarding living in Paris, myself and my girlfriend were looking at moving to Paris (maybe for a year or two) in the near future, but flat prices for rent seem quiet pricey, are we just generally looking in the wrong areas?

    Any tips/information regarding living in Paris would be great!

    Actually, he did this effortlessly! And looking back at my photos from a trip in 2008, I photographed him then as well. I think most Paris waiters make it a lifelong work, unlike waiters here in the U.S., that do it as a way to make money short term. They take their work seriously. I like that.

    Ken left a message on Menton DP when I recently posted a photo of a waitress with a handful of glasses. As he rightly said this guy would take a lot of beating. How incredible this is!
