This photo is from a weekend brocante market in the centre of Dijon which we visited back in June 2012. It's a photo that never fails to make me smile!
It definitely shows a French style, but not necessarily the one that immediately springs to mind.
And the deer chap (sorry) in the sunglasses certainly knows how to work the camera with the sunglasses set at a jaunty angle...
I linking this post to Charly's Black and White photo project over on PODCast so pop over there to see more black and white shots. And because it makes me smile I'm also linking up to Elizabeth's The Good Things over at Margot and Barbara.
