Marché Bastille - Un chapeau rouge


Seen in Marché Bastille in April
I was tempted to buy a hat while the eyes kept watch.

Guess which hat I would choose?

    Too funny! My mom just bought a Panama Hat, which was made in Ecuador, er, in Provence. And, hmmm, one of those hats is not like other...

    Nice one Genie.Think how it must be in the old days when you wanted to make a picture like that.

    I have never wore a hat, but if I were you I think you should wear the red one?

    Un chapeau rouge bien sûr, à offrir à Virginia !

    J'ai adoré la petite fille et sa poussette hier. Adorable.

    But of course it would be the red one! I love men's hats especially the panama straw ones.

    No surprise here. I'm confident you'd pick the red hat.
    All made by The Mad Hatter, I presume.

    This is a fun picture, Genie. YOU would get the red hat. I -- being a suave and debonair cosmopolite -- would get a wide brimmed white hat.

  34. LoreeSeptember 26, 2011 at 5:16 PM

    Perfect! I would choose the red hat for sure and I think you would too.

    Chere Genie,

    So very nice to meet you!
    Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and for such kind words regarding my grandmother. She is in my heart every day!

    I really love your blog. I am now following. You too fell in love with Paris at a young age? I was about 10 years old when I decided to check out some French phrase books from the library. I've been smitten ever since! Thank you for gracing us with your impeccable eye for this city of our dreams...

    All the best to you!
    Bises,
    - Irina

    Very clever, I think a chapeau rouge is just the ticket! I could find you in any crowd.

    Yes, it was a rhetorical question and you all knew the answer. Truly, all of the hats were shades of white and black/browns... except the lone red hat. Even in the color photo, the red just stood out.

    Based on a suggestion from Nathalie about another photo question, I found a youtube video that told me how to do the "color" in a b/w. As "sc" said above, it would have been quite a challenge in the days of film!

    Did no one notice the "eyes that kept watch?" The female in a hat peers out at us partially hidden by the rack of hats... She was the one that caught my eye.

    Thank you to my new commenters and followers. Many thanks to all.

    Bises,
    Genie
