Les citrouilles

Pumpkins for today´s Halloween, seen at the Marché Bastille two years ago.

Le Chapeau de Paille

I discovered this straw-hatted vintage model in July 2011 at the bric-a-brac flea market "section" of the Marché d´Aligre.

Barbapapa goes shopping

Whereas in Vienna you see mostly old women with shopping caddies, in Paris it´s a completely normal thing for old AND young. This lady opted for a Barbapapa shopping caddy. Can you blame her?

Monsieur au chapeau de paille

Sunday morning at the Marché de la Bastille, a lot of people running errands, tourists taking photos... and then this young man, lost in thought, unaffected of all the turbulence! I also love his jacket, his scarf and above all his straw hat (a little out of the ordinary for the month of November).
