Merci
For concept shopping in the Marais, this is the place.
Clothing, designs for the home, a used book café,
and more features all artfully displayed.
In the courtyard of Merci,
this little girl with the yellow coat
has been shopping...
Must be a French girl

Simplement adorable...
Gros bisous ♡
I like how you incorporate "Merci” on the shopping bag, and how the yellow down jacket accentuates the central figure.
But “French girl”? It is probably just me but I sense a certain Japanese quality. The predilection of the kid for pigeon toedness. Her too-cute, pink-and-white plastic accessory hair bands. The ease with with the adults can sit on their heels. The vestiges of dyed red hair of the woman on the right...
Une photo très "Figaro Madame".
Mais oui! Trop mignon!!
Tres chic!
Hmmm, I think Gary has a point. But la petite has certainly been in Paris long enough (or lives there) to have learned her fashion lessons well!
So, must at least be a French girl at heart.
I need some Fashion lessons.
Regardless of family background “la petit” could indeed be as French as any girl in Paris her age.
Truthfully, Gary, any charming young lady becomes a "French girl" on my blog, even my daughter who has been on many adventurous trips to Paris (and beyond) with me.
Wah, I think that she could teach me a thing or two, also!
Bises,

Ah. I understand now. You use that as a clever turn of phrase when you see someone being archetypically French. Maybe, in a way, to remind yourself that you are really living the dream of being “here” in France or to emphasize certain cultural differences you note. For example, above, in the Tuileries photo you could say, or, I guess I am saying clumsily, “The two couples are paired up under two umbrellas for a romantic walk in the rain. Must be French couples.”
But this brings me back to my first comment above. Do you know how romantic couples sometimes write their names or initials inside a heart (sometimes on a tree), with or without an arrow through it? Guess what they do in Japan as Hanako (girl’s name) and Tarô (boy’s name) did here. Or, an example easier to understand, here.
Thank you for your patience in tying to teach this sometimes pitifully slow old codger.
L'endroit où il faut aller faire du shopping !

So fashionable at such a young age! That colour is fairly obvious even in Australia just now- I tried on a dress today with a lot of it- I didn't think it would suit me, and I was right.
