Chapeaux / Wearing hats
L'hiver (ou disons mieux la saison froide) est une délicieuse occasion de porter un chapeau. En premier lieu pour aider votre corps à garder sa température; ensuite parce que c'est un vrai plaisir de porter un chapeau, une casquette, un béret, qui peut être utilisé comme un véritable accessoire de mode, pour les "fashion addicts", bien sûr! Exemples à suivre?
**********
Winter (or better said cold weather) is a delicious time for wearing hats. First because it is quite good for keeping your body warm; second because it is a real pleasure to wear a hat, or a cap, or a beret, which can be a real fashion accessory, for fashion addicts, of course! Examples follow:
Style "sport" / Sport style
Plus classique... / More classic...
Un poil d'excentricité ne messied pas... /
A little bit of eccentricity is not harmful...

Les filles à bicyclette! / Girls on Bikes!
Pourquoi? Il n'y a aucune raison. Seulement du plaisir, mais peut-être parce qu'il faisait cet après-midi un très joli soleil sur Paris, quoiqu'un peu voilé, et qu'il faisait très bon s'y promener. Et parce que les femmes à bicyclette me semblent encore plus belles... Elles poussent à l'inspiration, à la poésie, à la rêverie.
**********
Why? No reason. Only pleasure. But maybe because we had a pretty fine afternoon today in Paris, even if the sun was a little bit hazy, and it was very pleasant to go for a ride. And because women on bicycles seem to me even more handsome... They give inspiration, lead to poetry, dreams...
Très à l'aise sur son Vélib! / Incredibly at ease on her Velib!

Vélib volé / Stolen Velib
Je sais bien que, en français, "vélo" et "volé" sont de proches anagrammes (ainsi que "love"), mais ce n'est pas une raison pour dérober un vélo! Surtout si le vélo est un Vélib, donc une machine en libre service à destination de tout le monde, et non à une personne qui se l'accapare en la "maquillant" mal...
**********
In French, "vélo" and "volé" (means stolen) are quite close anagrams (as well as "love"), but it's not a reason to steal a bicycle! Especially if the bike considered is a Velib; a self service machine for everybody, and not for only one person who grabs it and quite badly disguises the daylight robbery...
Je trouvais cette cycliste charmante..., au début! /
I have found this cyclist really charming..., first!
Quelques minutes plus tard, la casquette irlandaise de ce gentleman a aussi attiré mon attention. /
A few minutes later, this Irish cap gentleman caught my attention too.

Velib Paris Cycle Chic
"Il y a dans la bicyclette, cette bonne fée, quelque chose de magique qui "enchante" ceux qui la touchent et transforme le plus lourdaud en courant d'air. Avatar bien plus exaltant que de voir se changer les citrouilles en carrosses, ainsi que le faisaient les fées sous-développées d'avant l'invention du célérifère." Jacques Faizant.
"There is in the bicycle, this fairy godmother, something magical which "casts a spell on those who touch it and changes the most oafish person into a real draught. Reincarnation far ahead more exciting than looking at pumpkins turning into horse-drawn coaches, as did underdeveloped fairies before the invention of velocipede." Jacques Faizant (he was a famous french journalist and caricaturist, and a very avid cyclotourist, died in 2002).
Absolument vrai... / Definitely true...
Une autre fée! / Another fairy!

Publicité gratuite... / Free advertising ...
... mais j'aime beaucoup: / ...but I like this:
Assistance électrique tout de même, mais le bon compromis entre l'encombrement en ville, la capacité de chargement, la sécurité pour les autres usagers et la pollution réduite à sa plus simple expression. Le futur est en marche!
**********
Electrically-Assisted-Pedal-Cycle, but the good compromise between the space occupied, load capacity, security for other users in the street and extremely reduced pollution. Future is on the good way!

Respect?
Deux choses qui ne devraient pas exister, mais qui se rencontrent tous les jours dans les rues parisiennes. Le code de la route n'est pas toujours que pour les autres...
**********
Two things that should not exist, but are very frequent in parisian streets. Traffic laws are not only always for the others...
Le feu rouge? / Red traffic light?
