I mentioned Rick Tulka's Walking Man previously
I've been seeing "walking Parisiens".
I've been seeing "walking Parisiens".
Paris moms do it. It's a straight-legged gait. Is this be the clue to Why French Women Don't Get Fat? & not eating leek soup 🥣 6X a week?
OK, toes together. Get ready
Stride PBers!(I hung out a loo window at Angelina's on rue de Rivoli for this shot :-()
Even while leche-vitrine/window browsing pastry shop windows, Parisiens do the stride stance.
French men do it while snacking in the street. Bon Appetite!
Paris waiters do it when standing still. 
BONJOUR PARIS WALK!
Isn't there a marked resemblance to the Charles de Gaulle France 🇫🇷 monument?
When my husband began suffering from foot drop, I started this “therapy” with him. We practiced doing the “Paris Walk”, stiff legged, striding forward. It worked quite well for a while! And where had I seen it? In your photos, even back then, of course!
ReplyDeleteWell that’s gratifying to hear. PB offers physical therapy when least expected !
DeleteYou’re so funny! :)
ReplyDeleteNo idea what you’re talking about 🥳
DeleteSuch a long, no-nonsense stride! I’m sure walking everywhere helps keep the weight down. Along with all the stairs in the metro and all those stairs in ancient apartment buildings without elevators! Someone is living on the 6th and 7th floors!
ReplyDeleteLove your Arc de Triomphe watercolor! ❤️
Ha Bonnie!

Could that be the French Paradox and not French wine 🍷 ?
Splendid post--as always!! xo
