Deneuve was not, as far as I could observe, present at the Place S. Sulpice. At least, there were no beautiful women there (except moi, of course). Anyway, I would have not paid a cent for her presence. <br /><br />Am I charged extra on a Sunday to be near a closed shop? <br />And is this the obscenely expensive, gross and tasteless handbag-and-poser-scarf brand? <br /><br />Honestly I really don't know, I'm not pretending... <br /><br />If so I would probably pay extra to be as far away from it as possible.<br /><br />vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820965364210447852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-42490269974152373382012-11-02T22:26:27.789+01:002012-11-02T22:26:27.789+01:00@Petrea "How did you get up there, Eric?"...@Petrea "How did you get up there, Eric?"

Walking by all the little coffee areas (can you call it people watching in reverse?) your daily picture today is perfect. <br /><br />Eric, thanks to your picture/information on the united bears project around Eiffel Tower I was able to pass the information on to new friends who all agreed it was not only a wonderful idea but so interesting to see all the countries represented. The bears were painted so beautiful to represent their countries. merci<br /><br />its a long holiday weekend in Paris so im sure there is a lot of coffee drinking going on. enjoy!Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-86684614665926522642012-11-02T17:05:55.097+01:002012-11-02T17:05:55.097+01:00Great photo!

Better yet, one of the Flore's lemon tarts and a superb waiter. A very fond remembrance of Paris!

Last time I went there (in the name of nostalgia), I paid 7 or 8 euros for a café crème and a croissant—and implicit permission to sit there for as long as I wanted, which was priceless.Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-29354887556760392412012-11-02T05:25:35.622+01:002012-11-02T05:25:35.622+01:00I'm with you, Mrs. V--great photo, and coffee ...I'm with you, Mrs. V--great photo, and coffee in Paris is worth the price.<br /><br />How did you get up there, Eric?Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-15146122649564996522012-11-02T03:51:41.144+01:002012-11-02T03:51:41.144+01:00That's really a nice photo.That's really a nice photo. jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-79218324985169257472012-11-02T00:14:15.997+01:002012-11-02T00:14:15.997+01:00I love this photo!
