  • I've heard that these guys that jump on the metros and play you accordian music are only after tips and will corner you if you look like you're enjoying their playing. I don't know if it's true. I've never had it happen to me. I presume all they would do is just be mad at you if you didn't tip them. Just thought I'd share because I have this great picture a friend of mine took. I also have a picture of some guys, an accordian and trumpet player, in Angers, France that used to come into the restaurants and play for tips. On the last trip, there seemed to be even more performers everywhere we went...some were even selling CDs in the Montparnasse metro station.

     What wonderful insights about Paris. Love seeing your progression via different trips. Enjoyed the travelogues as well as the helpful, interesting tips and dynamic photos, especially of some of the art, up close.

     Ahhh, Paree! I got a pic of Rodin's signature, too, but from one of the statues outdoors - great minds, as they say. ;)
