Monsieur et son chien

Les chiens à Vincennes

On our little side trip to Vincennes, I spotted these two cute guys crossing the street!. Not sure I"ve ever seen beagles in Paris.

Coming and Going

Daily life at the Palais Royal.

Le chien...

est très gentile, according to his loving human. He was the perfect gentleman throughout their long Parisian lunch at La Polidor.

Bonjour Petit Chien!

This adorable guest a our neighborhood restaurant was a regular.

Le chien

This very special chien was served by a Paris waiter on Boulevard Saint-Germain!

Le chien de la boutique

Tucked away in Le village St. Paul, you'll find Cassiopée and Co.   This beautiful antique store specializes in silver and crystal.  The owner's pup was sound asleep and hardly lifted an eye when I took a zillion  photos!

Palais Royal

This next trip,  I might just sit myself there for an hour or so and just photograph to my heart's content. That would make me very happy.

L'homme et son chien

You know how Parisians are, not a bit friendly and never smile.

Si triste

 Or maybe he's just bored waiting for Madame to finish her conversation and take him for a nice walk.

Mr. Pidds Takes a Ride

This cute pup belongs to my friend Zabie Johnston.  We met via Facebook friends in Paris.  Zabie's blog is French Market Maven and Mr. Pidds goes wherever Z goes.   He lunched with us at Le Rubis and then hopped the Métro and scampered along for an afternoon at le Cimetière des Chiens.  We worried that he might find it bit sad and depressing, but he thought it great fun and proved to be quite the trooper.  On our ride back home, I snapped this cute portrait.  ( He's better behaved than some Métro passengers I've seen in my day!)

Une vie difficile!

Riding around the Marais in a convertible takes the life of a pampered Parisian pooch to another level!

Le Petit Chien

It's no secret that Parisians adore their dogs, and they are welcome almost everywhere, including restaurants. Ce chien mignon was perched on a chair beside her doting owner ( her usual spot) while we dined outside at L'Isola, off rue Mouffetard last summer.

Madame et le Chien

French Stranger # 67

Peter and I happened upon this lovely lady with her precious pup in the basket of her bicycle in a small park in the Marais. She was so kind to pose for photos.

(For those of you that have followed my comments regarding the unusual summer clothing in Paris, I rest my case.)

"Toto, I think we've landed in Paris!"

C'est Paris!

I say that a lot. Today another example that made me smile. Of course the pug caught my eye, but then his hair, his clothes.......c'est Paris!

French Stranger #40

I"ve been sitting on this delightful portrait since last June. This has to be one of my favorites!. I spotted le chien through the open door so I stuck my head in and asked to photograph him. Then his happy owner came over and was nice enough to pose as well! Aren't they a great pair?

On the Loose in Paris

The first day I arrived back in Paris in July, I was enjoying a glass of wine at a local café and spotted this petit chien. I thought perhaps he was waiting for his owner, who was there in the tabac, but apparently not. He scampered away shortly. A streetwise Parisian chien? I hope so!
