Concerning this week’s photo…
Who and Where Is This?
I’ll give you a hint, the answer is the same to both questions… Correct answers in the Comments section below win a coveted prize.

I’d like to turn this site into more of a collaborative effort, if at all possible. For that, I need your help!
If you have taken a picture of Paris on your smart phone and would like to show it off to the world, why not do it here? It doesn’t have to be super artistic–there are enough photo sites of Paris as it is–just taken with a mobile phone and that’s all!
Please send a copy of your photograph to Paris.Paul.Prescott@gmail.com and I’ll let you know when it’ll be posted.
Thanks so much for your help!

That´s a bust of Dalida, the famous singer and actress. Place Dalida, Montmartre.
The first correct answer! Well played, Vreni!
See you in the streets,

It’s Dalida, the famous singer — I knew that much as the bust looks just like her photos and the statue of her in Montmartre Cemetery, where she is buried. But I did not know where it could be until I guessed there must be a “Square Dalida” or something like that. Sure enough… I Googled and there is a Place Dalida in Montmartre. Here: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_Dalida
Really good one! I never did see that Place before — walked around that area, but never did see it. When were you there?

Hi Babe!
Thanks for playing and here’s your badge…
I was there doing research for a post I’d like to do for Paris Inspired, but I first noticed it on the bus ride home from the Musée de Montmartre after the Chat Noir exhibit.

Ah okay! Very cool! Which bus goes by there? Not the N° 60 — I don’t think. Orrr, maybe, but further up the road from Jules Joffrin?
Now I am wondering if I actually was near there. I need to look it up on the map again.
Looking forward to a post on P.I.!

It was the Montmartre Bus. And I’ve already written the rough draft for y next Paris Inspired post.

Oh riiiight, the Montmartre Bus, okay. That one goes on the rue du Mont Cenis, though, huh. Where I used to babysit.
Man, I miss little S. Saw some pics of him on a card I dumped the other day. A real cutie patootie. Remember there was that one day after babysitting where I walked straight up the hill from Jules Joffrin to Sacre Coeur after babysitting — all the way up all the stairs on the rue du Mont Cenis. Then I met Karin in the Goutte d’Or. That was an adventure, lol.
So I may have been up very close to the Place, but it gets a bit winding up there on the hill and it is easy to miss things in the nooks and crannies of the streets.
Thanks for letting me know. Glad you are still having adventures there!

It’s French pop star Dalida. Good luck if you touch her breasts, I guess. She’s located in Montmartre, I think rue Girardon.
Hi Anne!
It’s good luck for me if I touch anyone’s breasts! You were right about the who and the where, so here is your Chupa Chups badge.

I’d like to play this week! I love this shot. Here are my answers. Dalida? Place Dalida at the tip of rues Girardon and Abreuvoir in Montmartre? Fingers are crossed. . .T. (Gorgeous shot!!)
