This one is great in b&w. I agree his shirt and shoes make him look like a tourist. The fact that she is wearing a skirt tends to make me think that she is a native.
Wonderful shot! I say they're both tourists, but she knows how to blend in a bit better. Did you really eavesdrop and do you know the actual answer to this question, V?
I have enjoyed your comments today. I think I"m going to have to go with tourists, but I still liked them, deep in conversation. And no, I did not hear them! :) V
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.

Judging solely on his shirt, I'd say tourists.
Wow, what an artistic photo!
God bless you!

Love it in B&W -- it really makes the water droplets stand out! I think Tourists -- his shirt and tennis shoes, her sensible shoes ...
Delightful photo!
I would say she is a native and he a tourist, hmmm! I wonder! Love the black and white Virginia.
Tourists or natives, either way but I can imagine myself there with a pain au chocolat in my hand.

She looks likes she's dispensing advice, so definitely a native.
It looks like she has some sort of bag, and his shirt doesn't seem very french. Well, I dont really know, but it just screams tourist.
Tourist! He's trying to do the French thing by wearing that shirt!
This photo is so cool!

I say one native and one tourist. :-)

Tourists, but wish I was there too!
Hmmm. If I were there, I would be wearing a shirt like his. I guess I wouldn't fool anyone, would I?
Jack, Oh lordy when you head off to Paris we need to have a chat! HA

Tourist, I guess. No scarfs, he is wearing athletic shoes...
