Les bandits

At first, I probably wouldn’t have posted this picture. But since I almost got killed for it, so there it is !
The guys started following me upstairs and wanted to start a fight just because I was framing them. Nothing to negotiate here. First time it gets pretty serious for me in the streets of Paris… Beware.

Chapeau bas !

So contrary to the cliché, Parisian men actually have a choice ! To wear or not to wear a hat ? That is the question…

At the zoo…

A candid shot taken at le Jardin des Plantes, which is a garden and a small zoo inside Paris. So the faces that made these two men was funny considering the place.

Public display of affection

Paris has always been the dream city for people around the world who dream of a romantic escapade. A city where you don’t have to hide to show your affection to your beloved, anywhere in the city. So there are actually many different ways to do so. And here is one…

Stay focused !

Le Palais de Tokyo is a very hip museum in Paris. The exhibitions are usually rather small (a few rooms, but within a huge space) and very innovative with avant garde artists offering interesting installations.

But, many people who come to visit don’t even bother getting inside the exhibitions :in the lobby of Palais de Tokyo, the book shop and the accessories shop are very popular too. Graphists, photographers and painters love to spend the afternoon there. It is cool and arty to be seen there, and this group of hip girls, toying with some expensive pencils, knows it well…

The three stooges

I guess this one doesn’t really need my comments, so I will just let the picture speak.
