Apparently some people will risk life and limb in order to be chic! (I'd be doing that just by trying to walk in heels that high.) Nice capture, V, even if you didn't have to contort yourself to get it.
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.

I remember her - dear god are those harem pants???
Not THAT cafe? The one populated with Jeehobbs in leopard skin jackets...?
Sexy scooter! If I had a scooter like that I'd always wear high heels!
All the best
Keith
That looks difficult to me!
She may be stylish, but that's about as dumb an outfit as there can be for riding a scooter.
Mary,
I have looked closer and I do believe she has a skirt on and had it pulled up somehow!
JB,
No, another one! ;)
Keith,
And you'd look darn cute!
Maya,
No kidding.
Starman,
What has practicality got to do with anything when it comes to chic???
Definitely a French girl! Great "capture" Virginia!
They may be high, but they look very practical for scooting ~ nice secure straps holding them on. Wonderful, V!!
Maybe they double as a scooter kickstand?
I dated a guy with a Lambrettra .. zoom was more like PUTT PUTT PUTT but it was fun
Est-ce possible de faire du scooter avec des talons hauts!? Je pense que c'est très dangereux!

How Italian Riviera in the early 60's of you!
Waiting anxiously for the light to turn green to be the first to start. My guess, anyway.
Italian girls wear heels like that, too, but often with skirts as proportionally short as these heels are tall -:)
Thanks for thinking of me!
Chuck,
Glad you liked it!
Ciel,
Oui, so she could get away from my camera!
Paul,
I think you're right.
Alexa,
For me, the heels would be risking life and limb. :)
Claudine,
Oui, très dangereux.
Rob and Shell,
Good point!
M,
French girl...check!
Daryl,
She's a fashionista, oui?
High heels on a scooter, cool lady !
That is so Paris! I noticed the high heals right away. :)
I bet you were at the Cafe Sully.
I scoot alright, but high heels…? :-)
