I already explained the pigeons situation in Paris in this post and in the meantime I discovered that according to a law (the sanitary code, art. 120) it is forbidden to feed the pigeons in our Capital. And though, I suppose this moment is probably one of the main highlights in the day of this old lady. It is silly but this picture moves me!
But ! What is Sarkozy doing about that ? In jail, the old lady !!!!
ReplyDeleteMore seriously, pigeons are a real problem in towns. But I can't forget this part of "Mary Poppins" where an old woman feed pigeons. So tender...
Nothing silly about that, as far as am concerned...
ReplyDeleteI think you did the right thing in showing us that picture.
It is, indeed, very touching, and shows the loneliness of this old lady, whose only friends are probably those pigeons.
ReplyDeleteI guess my 4 year old can keep the lady company. That's all he wanted to do in Paris last week.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime Paris.
ReplyDeleteÀ bientôt!
Un moment d'humanité dans la grande capitale... C'est en effet tres touchant.
ReplyDeleteAnother great shot, Eric.
Un autre bijou...
ReplyDelete(LOL a Sarkozy!)
Au fait, pas pour critiquer, mais le titre de ce post, ça serait pas plus "This womAn" que "This womEn" ?
ReplyDeleteCorrigé ! Merci Isido.
ReplyDeleteEric, every picture you show makes me want to visit Paris all the more. My heart goes out to this woman. I remember when it became illegal to feed the pigeons in Jackson Square in New Orleans. I missed the pigeons, but not the mess they created.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems that every freedom we exercize infringes on the freedom of someone else.
Bonsoir Eric,
ReplyDeletemagnifique blog que voilà et très belle idée de partage!
Bonne continuation,
paris-emoi
Super photo pleine de sensibilité. Oui, Paris c'est aussi ça.
