Dansant dans la rue


Dancing in the street
Rue Mouffetard


Every Sunday a small crowd gathers on Rue Mouffetard 
in front of Église Saint-Médard to sing and dance 
to the music of Christian Bassoul.  

It is easy to spot the regulars, 
whose easy steps and spins are evidence of the Sunday routine.  


All are welcome to participate 
so if you find yourself in Paris on a Sunday morning, 
find your way to this charming experience and.... 
dance.



Rue Mouffetard at Rue Censier
75005, Paris
Métro Censier-Daubenton

    Great close up Genie. Dancing in the streets. Such a great idea. Good for the heart as well as the soul.

    That's what I want to know: Did you dance? Seems like the perfect way to spend a part of Sunday in Paris (preceded by mass with organ music at St. Etienne du Mont and followed by a good lunch)!

    I left a comment yesterday on the rue Soufflot photo, but it seems to have disappeared. I wonder if this will make it through?

    Don't you love all the little local rituals, like Sunday dancing at Rue Mouffetard?

    Veronique, I have a long lens but I was about 15 feet away.

    Brattcat and Alexa, most definitely I danced... David and Peter filmed and clicked. Perhaps I will share one of those some day.

    Starman, sometimes Blogger just does weird things. I did get you comment in my emails... thank you

    Jack, most definitely, and I hope to discover more with each trip

    Merci beaucoup to all,

    Bises,
    Genie

    When I arrived on rue Mouffetard around 1PM (in mid-October), they were still dancing. I think I even have a picture which shows the same guy that was dancing with Holly (in red coat) in the pic you posted last winter. Such fun street-fare!
