Boulevard Raspail - une femme et son vélo

A woman and her bicycle

It was more than just a light rain, 

but she was dressed for the ride.

Her basket contained a briefcase and a black pinwheel, 

and there was another wicker basket to the side of the back wheel.  

This was no pleasure ride,

 but a well-orchestrated, 

any-kind-of-weather daily commute.

Chic, stylish, adventurous...

must be a French Girl.

I believe that you are not supposed 

to take photos in the Métro, but...

Do you think she could be any more stylish and chic?

Must be a French girl.

Lèche-vitrines - Paris à Noël

Window shopping

on Rue du Bac

On a Saturday morning, 

Rue du Bac turns into a promenade of the families who live nearby.  

We saw many greetings across all generations 

as people paused in the street to chat.  

This young child was warmly dressed 

and had the requisite trottinette to make the Saturday rounds.  

As for the mother, you know I will say that...

...she must be a French girl

Ce doit être une fille française - XXXIV

must be a French girl...

On a Métro platform, checking her smart phone with boots, scarf, hat...

all of this in late May!

(but spring was truly late!)

Le Bon Marché -- des chapeaux

If you have been reading my blog for a period of time, you know that I am almost as passionate about hats as I am shoes...

This chapeaux is not quite my style but I was captivated by the design.

What do you mean, pas de photos?  Whoops

Paris chic - les vêtements de Galeries Lafayette

While photographing the Galeries Lafayette Christmas tree,

I took a little shot in my favorite, almost-affordable, department. 

Oh la la!
