Paris, France –
Yep, we were accosted, in broad daylight, in a crowded square in the popular Montmartre neighborhood, in front of everyone.
Sacre bleu! Who would do such a thing?
Well…
Montmartre
Now This is a Parade!
Paris, France –
The men were angry and taking it out on the poor delivery driver. What was he thinking? He had tried to cross the wrong parade! Or at least, at the wrong time, right in front of the fish griller craft (or whatever they might be called). As a result, the men had grabbed several fish off their grill, and were rubbing them all over the windshield and side windows of the delivery van. Any spot of glass was soon completely covered with freshly grilled fish oil.
This would never have happened at any parade I’ve seen in the states-always large productions with barricades to prevent traffic, and the spectators kept separated from the participants.
