J'aime beaucoup l'angle de cette photo et les mots qui l'accompagnent. J'espère que cette jeune femme aura eu beaucoup de chance pour son auditoire. Gros bisous
I don't know how to feel about this. If this is her only way to make money, I feel badly, because there is not enough money on her way to live. But, if she does it because she loves to sing, great!
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'm so glad she had someone to sing to, dear V. It's a lovely scene.
I heard a woman singing in the yard of le Louvre once. It was magic!
What a treat!
The scenery in Paris would make me want to break out in song too, I can't think of more inspiring place.
I couldn't do that for all the euros in . . . Europe! But you wouldn't want me to. :~} Love the way you composed this, V!
I wonder if he gave her any money?

I admire street performers like this. They are very brave to wear their heart on their sleeve.
