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.

Un délicieux moment sans aucun doute...
Jolie photo.
Gros bisous.
I like this shot, Genie. How close were you? Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Great close up Genie. Dancing in the streets. Such a great idea. Good for the heart as well as the soul.
Genie, this is a terrific shot. Keep on clicking.
Love this photo --- such a chic dancer! Bon weekend!
did you dance, too?
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?
Nice shot!!!
At first sight I thought it was Ann Margaret.
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
This is a gorgeous shot, dear Genie...I love the intensity in her face!
I hope you are enjoying the season!
Blessings,

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!
There is something so lovely about this shot!
What a romantic tradition! Only in Paris... :)
As you well know, I haven't missed one single trip since June 2009!!!! Love this shot.
