The men in green with their obligatory brooms seem to be everywhere in Paris.

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.

In Vienna they are orange.
That is one beat up broom! Do you even think it can sweep dirt? HA You certainly can't miss this guy!
I think ours are orange !
Wow, if we had brooms that color here in Oregon, these guys would be camouflaged with the scenery! :) That is some bright, mossy green.
Are you in Paris now? Those ubiquitous greenies look like eco-elves.
Bless them! :)

Ils sont surtout près des mairies...Je connais des rues où on n'en rencontre guère.
They work really hard!

I understand they have their brooms full of snow right now! Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
That broom looks a little 'frazzled'.. The 'Men in Green' could that be a future movie title, haha!
They're the reason Paris is usually cleaner than most cities.
well spotted !:)
