The Famous Montmartre Man
I was wandering the back alleys of Montmartre's touristic Place du Tertre when I spied this restaurant worker taking a break at the back door of this creperie.
At the moment I went to snap the shutter he spied me as well. Although he appeared skeptical and a little apprehensive, he made no move to escape my lens.
I suspect that he went home that night and told his wife that "yet another silly tourist" took his photo. And, I think that they both laughed heartily at the absurdity of his "fame".
I hope that he would be very pleased to know that this photo graces my kitchen wall, and that visitors always comment on my famous Montmartre man.
