ABC Wednesday—H is for "heads"

Not all the shops in Paris cater to the tourist trade.
In the area just north of les Halles , there are 

lots of stores that sell the things other tradesmen 
need—sewing supplies, cooking implements, and
these (a good place to showcase a chapeau) 

in the Passage du Caire.

Weekend Reflections

There's a store in Paris's Passage du Caire
 that sells, among other things, mannequins.
One in particular was extra reflective!

Though the entire vitrine was full of them
(mannequins and reflections, that is).

The Weekend in Black and White

A couple of weeks ago I showed you Paris's
Passage du Caire, one of those that still
houses mostly functional, wholesale
kinds of shops—and this is one of them.

The Weekend in Black and White

I have a special fondness for the passages
of Paris (and worked in one of them
for several years).  Some have been spruced
up and are filled with colorful shops.
Some are a bit run-down, with more utilitarian
businesses—like this one, Passage du Caire.
It may not be very elegant, but it has good bones.
