You've probably heard the song "Fifty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong":
They say the French are naughty
They say the French are bad
They all declare that over there
The French are going mad.
They have a reputation of being very gay
I just got back from Paris, and I just want to say:
It's true.
I spent a summer in Paris in grad school, and visited regularly until COVID squashed international travel, so I have quite a lot of memories of Parisian cocombres.
Images of people I know are posted with their permission
1. The Ballet School at the Opera National.
Go in the winter -- no crowds. On Christmas Eve, the Louvre is deserted.
2. A Turkish musician
3. On the train
Shakespeare and Company on the Left Bank, my favorite place in Paris. Well, aside from that bar near the Centre Pompidou...
4. Garz dans le placard -- guy in the closet
More après la pause -- after the break. Caution: explicit.
People go to Bayeux, 2 1/2 hours west of Paris, to see the famous Medieval tapestry, of course, but it also has an annual Circus Festival that draws 20,000 spectators.
5. Garz in a guitar chair at the Ecole de Cirque
Reims, an hour east of Paris, is in the Ardennes, champaigne country, but if you don't drink, you can visit the Cathedral, the Palais du Tal, and the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne.
7. Remy de Reims avec son zizi agrandi. With his enlarged...
Aix-en-Provence, near Marseilles in the south of France, is famous as the home of Paul Cezanne and this book-themed library.
8. Aix ami avec un concombre géant. Do I need to translate?
