And you thought you were going to escape a Beaujolais Nouveau photo LOL?! Nope... I took it near were I live, at the entrance of Passage Jouffroy where each year a restaurant called Le Zefyr puts a huge inflatable bottle by its entrance. So huge that passers by have to go around it (how's that for a marketing tool?!). How good does the Beaujolais taste this year? I have no idea (I very rarely drink alcohol remember?) and who cares! Everyone knows it's not for the taste that this whole thing is organized, but to boost business and provide a good occasion for people to gather. Which is good enough ;-) Have a look at what they do with Beaujolais in Japan though...
Can't remember when I had a glass of that wine the last time, probably 20 years ago!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Is it that time again? Where did the year go?
ReplyDeleteThat the Japanese hotel pour thousands of gallons of Beaujolais Nouveau into a swimming pool doesn't say much about the wine,does it? Looks fun, but I wonder if the swimmers come out stained pink?
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the Passage Jouffroy entry.
Too much Beaujolais ET????

Ils sont fous, ses japonais! Love your photo, but I always ask myself why the people passing by don't even glance down at that man on the ground (you, that is)! :~}
ReplyDelete@Alexa " but I always ask myself why the people passing by don't even glance down at that man on the ground (you, that is)! :~}" They do actually, but these two did not!
ReplyDeleteAnd no Virginia, I did not have too much Beaujolais LOL!
@Jeff "That the Japanese hotel pour thousands of gallons of Beaujolais Nouveau into a swimming pool doesn't say much about the wine,does it? " LOOOOOOOOOOOL
Bought a bottle on my way home tonight. I will drink a glass to your health tonight. I love the taste and bouquet of Beaujolais Nouveau and hope that this year's crop doesn't disappoint me.

I've only had beaujolais once or twice, but fell in love. I can't wait to have more next year. A fabulous glimpse of Paris as ever, merci Eric.
ReplyDeleteAh, a Tenin perspective shot AND and Bob shot all in one :-).
ReplyDeleteThose guys are just too cool/too in a rush. . .or maybe they're neighbors who have seen you do this before? :-).
