Digby's dates Folks, I am there for Paris Photo in November - from the 15th to the 19th. I'd be happy to explore and report back. Any loungers in town at that time ? Here is a bit of info: http://www.parisdigest.com/shopping/puces.htm

Hi, I'll be on a business related trip to Paris in mid November. Any idea if there are any hat shops worth a stop ? regards, slimdigby

Respect - also for small lives ! I believe we can begin to distinguish ourselves by treating ALL creatures in our immediate "habitat" with great respect. I trust most here can sufficiently appreciate the rodents that provide fur for the hats we proudly wear and care for. The huge difference we...
