I could not resist the shot. I don't think any photographer could have just walked by. What a parallel...Bélanger's chuchoteuses looked at by real-life chuchoteuses? Almost looks that way.

Expensive bugs for sale
The actual store was not that large but the bugs started at the ceiling and went all the way to the floor. Big ones, small ones, ones that fly, others that crawl. Needless to say I preferred staying outside...I found this oddity in Paris, on Boulevard St-Germain, almost at the Seine.

Yves back from the market
The nicest, friendliest chef around (after YMC, of course!). Yves Camdeborde has "Le Comptoir" and at the time of this photograph, was opening "Le Petit Comptoir", right beside it. A memorable evening of champagne and conversation with him and a horde of writers (including Christian Authier and Jean-Marc Parisis) topped off a fantastic stay in Paris (at the Relais St-Germain, of course!)

Old and new
Modernity as the backdrop for the old, on a gray cloudy day.

Bah bah black sheep
These plywood sheep were too good to pass by. Their purpose? No clue. Just one black sheep though. Discovered as we drove by, Nappa Valley California.

Rollerflics
This would be so cool in Montreal! In Paris, these guys were on a pedestrian street, one of my favorites in St-Germain, la rue de Buci. I know, it doesn't look to be pedestrian, but it is. And can these guys book!

Angel cake?
Walking through Paris, I stumbled upon this not far from Les Halles. A not-so-subliminal subliminal message. Poetic, don't you think?

Yummm...
What can I say...when in Paris, go to the Atelier de Joël Robuchon. I do. But you know that if you've been following me: l'Atelier and Axel chez Alexandre

Women are heroes, Paris
It was absolutely stunning, malgré the apparent damage. Pieces of paper "glued" on walls everywhere in Paris. This one was seen from Ile de la Cité, looking onto Ile St-Louis. Here is the artist: www.womenareheroes-paris.net/
Le Germain, rue de Buci
What a great way to create a little terrace. Add a touch of class with the cloth napkins and the wine glass. Vraiment réussi, in my opinion.
