    Important part of the Parisian special atmosphere, the Bouquiniste stalls can be found on the Quai St-Michel.

    With their specific dark green boxes, the bouquiniste are selling, beside the second-hand books, also drawings and other small souvenirs.

    The sidewalk cafes are abundant in some neighborhoods. They are great for a snack or drink and for people watching. Often there is a musician or mime or some other street performer who will keep you entertained while you relax for a few moments.

    Between Notre Dame and the St Louis Island, there are very often street artists and/or musicians to untertain tourists and earn a little bit money....When I was there, it was a swing/jazz band who sung in English... probably Americans ;-)

    Street Artists and Musicians:

    Paris has them like all the great cities.

    I love all the Paris street artists and musicians. Everywhere you go, .... art.

    Although occasionally they could become a little tedious

    ( e.g. try being "ambushed" on the RER early in the morning by a boisterous and slightly off-key brass band when you are hung over from the night before )...

    they are one of my fondest Paris memories.. Music and art everywhere. Only in the great cities of the world.

    The waif playing the violin on the Champs in the second foto is another of Anthonys street scenes that reflect what I experienced & loved, and which triumph so toweringly over my mediocre photos.
    Good job antoine..!! Copyright 2000-2006 by Anthony G. Atkielski

    The street vendors sell paintings (of Paris, animals etc), prints, 2nd hand books (mostly French and English), souvenirs and more.

    With the Cathedral of Notre Dame as a backdrop it is a beautiful way to spend a relaxing afternoon.

    It is an ideal place to get presents for your family and friends.

    Unlike Montmartre, there were no artists painting when I was there in August 2005. Apparently the painting I bought was painted by an Art student as part of their course.

    what is around the corner!

    These two dancers, found across from
    Place St. Michel were a delight to watch.
    Part of what make Paris such a spectacular city is that even the street performers have class.

    Check the travelouge for a closer look at the Latin Quarter.

    Artists offer reasonably-priced original art on Montmartre. You can have portraits painted quickly (20 minutes to one hour) or just browse through the artists' offerings: flowers, French scenes, Paris landmarks and monuments, etc. If you are taking something home for a friend, consider buying a small piece of original art; trust me, Grandma will like it even more than her Hard Rock London t-shirt! Prices will vary from artist to artist and picture to picture, but you can get a nice original portrait for around 40 euro or other ready-to-buy paintings and drawings from 15 euro up.

    The side of the building contains vertical ridges. When approaching from the left or right the picture appears out of focus. As you walk by, the picture becomes centered and snaps into focus.

    Strolling around on the highest level of Paris. Montmartre, Sacré Coeur, Place du Tertre, meeting street artists, promoting their capacities and your lovely personality to be put into a drawing. Remarkable is that before entering the Place itself, some "wild" and rather aggresive artists try to earn some money. On the Place itself the real painting artists are calm and friendly.
    And than having a Guinness at the local Irish Pub, or even a belgian blond Leffe - a Cuban Libre.
    Oh Paris - you are fascinating and so multicultural

    There's a special romanticism in Tertre's nights (in summer... I may say now!). Several painters occupy the place, displaying their portfolio, while hundreds of people walk around, comparing and commenting styles, and some of them negotiating a portrait or caricature. And the time passes quickly, comparing faces to the expressions fixed in the papers.
