So this is how the Parisian sidewalks are made. Asphalt in wood buckets poured in situ then hand leveled. Wow. That is hands on. But it was sloppy workmanship. I would have failed them at inspection time. #paris

Cool elevator art #paris
I was yelled at in both French and English for taking this picture. I actually wanted to buy it but they ruined the mood. #art #postcard #paris
I bought this without knowing what it was. I kept chanting “please don’t be an egg” this because I ordered a pizza last night and for some reason an over easy egg was right there in the middle. So I am suspicious of French and their eggs. But luckily this time it was an orange and possibly the tastiest thing in the world. #paris #foodporn #pastry
Wait. Is that. Yep. It is what you think it is. Well that’s quite something. #paris #fleamarket
I really wanted to buy this but I couldn’t find the vendor. #paris #fleamarket
