  2. The body language suggests she is making some sort of proposal and he is considering it.

    All so very civilised. And so very French. Such style.

  5. Oh, a wonderful choice for black and white, Genie! And lovely to see this favourite spot of yours close up. {And that scarf arrangement certainly does look Parisian.}

  7. Her hands are in such an interesting position and her lips are slightly pursed ... I am thinking he is doing the talking and she is listening. How fun it is to speculate ... Great B&W candid!

  10. I want to think she's an actress and he is a director and both are married with the wrong person. And you were there to catch the photo.
    Hugs.

  16. Ah! pain-au-chocolate and she's still ever so slim. It must be all those stairs.
    I've just returned from a month in France and for the first time was delighted to see Paris in it's Autumn colours ... such a treat. She never disappoints!

  17. She was beautiful and graceful and I was tempted to show this photo in color for the light green bamboo and the rich blue door. The black and white seemed less prying (said the paparazzi).

    Diane, I do hope that we were not there at the same time and missed meeting each other! It was my first time to be in Paris in October.

    Val, I found your story intriguing. When I take a photo like this, I really want to know more about them and wonder if our paths will ever cross again.

    Starman, you are very observant... I had missed that detail.

    Joe, I started to leave this with no comments on the chance that you would fill in the gaps with a story. Merci!

    Thank you to all for your comments.

    Bises,
    Genie

  18. Un très joli couple... je ne sais pas s'il est légitime ! ils paraissent si heureux!... J'aime plaisanter !

    La photo est merveilleuse et elle pourrait être le sujet d'une peinture... si un jour tu me le permets, bien que je ne peigne que d'imagination, celle-ci m'inspire !

    Gros bisous.

  19. Charming, and I loved reading the comments from everyone else. It's funny how everyone sees something different in this couple.

    I think the black and white photo enhances the scene....good choice.
