Excusez-moi Garcon! I love this shot. You could not get a more ‘Parisian’ image than if the Eiffel tower was shot covered in croissants. But I beg my pardon; it is old fashioned to call a male waiter ‘garcon’, in fact today it is considered rude and ill-mannered. The correct terminology is: 'serveur'.
loves these boys.
An awkward and at the same time, very relaxed looking French man at the Tuleries Jardin. You can almost see the drool trickling down the corners of his mouth … and feel the neck pain that will surely strike after this little sun soaking session.
'Prada' our gorgeous Parisian pooch living the life at Cafe Flore. I want to get a dog just to name it 'Prada'. Love.

Quirky bird-man walking the Ile st Louis, in the rain, with a broken umbrella, holding the broken side over his head, getting wet. I had a little chuckle as I took this shot. Adoreable.

Gypsy bohemian purple cape man. I half expected him to turn into a vampire or bat and fly away. Or a magic flying carpet-rug.
I met this whacky chef at a teeny local creperie in Guy Moquet (near Montmartre) - the most peculiar character, for once I am stumped for words, there is no words to describe him. Pity a photograph can't show true character. Here he is making my nutella creperies. yummmmm
Parisian born Rose-Marie pounding the pavement with her Parisien pooch in typically Parisien chic-ness and style. Note the shoes. love.

Velvet and fur. The fabrics favoured by the baroque/victoria/rocco/neoclassical style of the typical Parisiene's.
The usual line up for Vin Chaud. (Hot wine). Scrumptious. Parisienne's love this beverage delicacy.
