Oui, oui et oui. Black, black and black. The shoes don't do it for me but the hair surely does! I found Monsieur doing a little work on his computer during lunch outside Saint Julien-le Pauvre in the Square René-Viviani.

Paris je t'aime
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 would agree Monsieur looks very French... or more specifically Parisian. The shoes don't surprise me that much-- or the three-day beard look, "à la Serge Gainsbourg..." -- Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
The shoes aren´t very Parisian....
Oui oui ... a distinguished Monsieur hanging out in Le Square Viviani .... Very classy indeed.
What a wonderful blog!
Filled with the most beautiful photographs.
I'll gladly follow you
I wish you well
xo
I completely agree .. in fact I looked and thought "oh no, what awful shoes but that's almost Patrick Dempsey hair!"
He looks so at home - as though he does this daily! Have taken a page out of your Paris Rouge series - hope you don't mind - it kept leaping out at me on a very grey day in Sydney! Have linked it back to you! Thank you for the inspiration. Francesa x
A relaxing déjeuner in the park on one of Paris' millions of distinctive green benches... parfait!
Why work when one is suppose to rest!
The gentlemen is very typical: velvet jacket paired with comfy shoes is very Parisian. The stereotype has been broken. This IS the look seen quite often. Tiny downplay of the style.
He certainly has small feet.
I agree, Virginia...;-)
Have a wonderful weekend.

Ooh la la! Oui, the hair, black attire go hand and hand. The shoes not so much! :)
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, Virginia!
I thought not French because of the shoes but I read in these comments that it could be Parisien. LOL. Have a nice weekend
Ooooo! He looks very handsome from the back..(and like from the front if i could see hi.) And yes.. his hair is great. His shoes, not so much, but to each his own and all! :)
Good one, V! I'm willing to ignore his shoes simply because his hair is so great. I married my husband partly because he had hair like this—and divorced him partly because he started cutting it real short! :~}
Nah, he is from Indiana. Bloomington, to be precise.
I'm imagining he's Richard Gere from the front.
I love all the comments above, sometimes it's worth coming in late to a great image to read the comments. I have to say this gentleman certainly look s like he's sat in this spot many times, very relaxed..and I heard a rumour that more and more Parisians are wearing sneakers these days..quel horreur!! haha!
