Paris Tough Guy.

This one has street smarts.

Very adept at negotiating in the fish market at Rungis, settling small traffic disputes around Place de la Bastille.

It can be observed stirring up protest in the Latin Quarter during those general strikes the French are fond of.

Look, there it is, caught for a flash on the bank of the Seine by the spotlight of a nighttime tour boat.

On the other hand, it’s also good at keeping its cool during philosophical debates in cafés.
