People of Paris #12

Leave a comment

People of Paris #12 features Pigeon Man, also known as the Pigeon Whisperer. It appears as though the gentleman is not thrilled with his role in life and may be thinking that this is one crappy job.

Located in the Notre Dame Cathedral square,  there is some history behind this practice. The original Pigeon Man of Notre Dame, Pierre Pradeau came almost every day after his retirement to feed the birds, until he passed away on December 13th, 2009.

This image shows love and kindness for his feathered friends…

It’s all in the attitude, right?

Paris street food…we didn’t try the “Ho Dog.” Opted for a French crepe, instead.

You can probably guess that we were NOT in a swanky, high class part of the city. Still, our crepes were yummy filled with local flavor in more ways than one.

Yes, I did donate to their cause after snapping this photo. Felt like the fair thing to do… scam or not.

People of Paris #5… Gizzards and Potatoes

Leave a comment

Hungry?  Try some chicken gizzards and Noirmoutier potatoes, the “Rolls Royce” of potatoes, named for the French region it is grown. There’s no doubt as to who is in charge of this business found in the Paris Farmers’ Market.

Yes, Paris is well know for its cathedrals, museums and the iconic Eiffel Tower.  Interesting, but  the people are what really make this town tick. Thus begins a series of posts showcasing the people found in this fair city… People of Paris.
