un petit garçon et son vélo



little boy and his bicycle


riding uphill on the uneven cobblestones of Rue Mouffetard...
This is a challenging venue for learning how to ride a two-wheeled bike.


On this Sunday afternoon, 
it was likely that they were headed to Luxembourg Garden 
with the soft chalky-dirt paths, 
perfect for a little one to practice the art of "balance."



Rue Mouffetard

  2. This little fellow is doing well - going up this particular street can be awkward even with shoes on! I can imagine most children from around my area kicking up a fuss if they had to scoot up Rue Mouffetard on 2 wheels. And it can't have been easy for the accompanying adult too!!
    I trust you had a lovely St Valentine's day. Bisous

  3. Such a cute photo! Being a parent in Paris is such a different experience (and being a child is, as well)!! Bon weekend!!

  4. Adorable. I see a lot of little kids riding wooden bicycles around here. They don't have pedals and they don't use training wheels any more; they just have the bikes low enough for the kids to push the ground with their feet. They way they learn to balance and get used that tippy feeling.

  6. He's awfully little to be riding a two-wheeler. Hope his maman has a strong back. :~}
