The how to become a Parisienne IS in French but any nincompoop can figure it out - basically where to buy stuff, where to eat, where to get yr nails done etc. The deeper, darker secrets of inner Frenchiness are elusive comme habitude :(
Fun, Carol! Happy Labor day! It's getting ready to storm here--you can see it brewing. I'll pretend I'm grilling out, how's that!? I'm making chicken piccata. (Not exactly Labor Day fare, but it's what I have here!)
San Francisco radio station KFOG used to sell T-shirts that read, "Use an accordion, go to jail." Photo #4 certainly casts that instrument in a different light.
When I was a young Illustrator, way back when, I remember Goude's work as always being so very creative, inventive, and surprising. A true Renaissance man.
I paint Paris dreams and mail 📮 them ❤️ wherever you are 🌎 Receive an illustrated letter 💌 every month from Paris, France 🇫🇷 Hi, I’m Carol Gillott, watercolorist ex-NYer living on Ile St-Louis in a 20 meter chambre de bonne sending out Illustrated letters monthly from Paris. A travel artist, travel blogger, writer, watercolorist, photographer, I share my personal travels experiences so you can travel vicariously through my sketches and words.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

I love his work...thanks for putting a name and a link to it!
What wonderful post on Labor Day, Carol!
I thoroughly enjoyed the graphics, wonderful indeed.
Goude is amazing! That book...it appears to be in French...so even the French have to study to be Parisian?
That was a great post! I enjoyed every image, and will keep an eye out for those posters in the metro in a couple of weeks...Thanks.

Goude is just plain delicious!
Strike out the plain.
Nothing plain about him and everything fanciful!

I'd like to write more things in lipstick on that guy's chest...
