French Stranger #71
Last summer ma chère amie Mary took me on a wild goose chase ( I have no idea what THAT would be in French) to the 20 eme for the
Grand Brocante. As I've shared
previously, it left a lot to be desired but what it lacked in fine French antiques to be had for a song, it made up for with delightful people that we met along the way. This young boy was selling hot mint tea and baklava. Mary and I of course had to have some as he was just a delight as you can see here.
He actually looks happy to be there! What a charming shot, V—but I love all your French strangers.
ReplyDeleteIs this the equivalent to a lemonade stand? ;)

He was adorable and IMHO it was a great excursion into a VERY non-touristy "hood" - AND we also discovered that charming little church cemetery where you took some mighty fine shots! Stick with me babe!
ReplyDelete... and don't wander off! (jk)
ReplyDeleteThis fella is a cutie and I would love what he is selling... nice portrait, V.
Have you gone with Mad to the pet cemetery yet?
Love hot mint tea!!! And Baklava!!!
ReplyDeleteHe will grow to be a fine street merchandiser. When do you fly out
ReplyDeleteHow much for a thé and a baklava?
