3 hours...

A 3 hours stroll through town. Not a minute longer, or we might get a 135 euros fine, in case of a police control. We use an app to generate an authorization for shopping, going to the doctor, shopping, and so on. This said, I haven't been controlled this year, not even once. I don't know anyone who has.

A bouquiniste mural

Spotted in Paris a while ago. The little guy says: nooooooooooooooo :-). One of many  bookseller's boxes, along the Seine river.

Stay home, they say...

While COVID  rages, here in France, tens of thousands of homeless men and women, refugees, asylum seekers are still living in the street, by wet and freezing weather. Once again, I'm ashamed of being French, even though the situation is the same everywhere... Helping where I can.

December CDP theme day: comfort food


Comfort food... For me, it is pizza (among others, alsatian Flammekueche, most greek or indian food, thai, chinese, ethiopian...), preferably from a wood oven, preferably in Italy!

Waiting for Macron

A restaurant and a hotel. Both closed. Second lockdown in France. We are millions waiting for the French president to announce (hopefully good) news tonight at 8 pm.

A shithead did it

Hundreds, maybe thousands of discarded masks on our streets here.... I went to the baker this morning, 400 meters away, I saw 7 discarded masks. My feelings? Furious, sad.

A weekend reflection

Coming to your screens from Padova, Italy! A strange (for me) mixture of old and new.

More weekend reflections to your perusal right...here

Antifa

A picture close to my heart... Antifa means bad things in some countries (USA...), but what is Antifa? People fighting fascism, fighting hate. And this is GOOD!!! This is what we all need to do!

The watery fire station

Most firemen in France are volonteers, but not in Marseille  and Paris, where they are army units, called sapeurs pompiers, sapper firemen. More about this here.

Quais de Seine

Haven't been to Paris this year. Sigh. I normally go there at least twice a year, only 2 hours away by train.

Support your local caffeine dealer!

A cafenion is what they call a coffee place in greek. I don't have many Strasbourg photos for the moment, due to the sanitary situation here.
