Take that métro accordion players!
Posted in Video by Sabine on January 13, 2010
In 3 years of Paris-living, I had my fair share of jolly métro accordion players who stood right next to me and blasted a grating version of an Édith Piaf favourite right in my ear.
Why did I never bump into Noah and the Whale instead? Why!!
By the way, I’m all excited because in my first year of Paris-living, my apartment* was right near the Père Lachaise cemetery, where some of this amazing video (well, episode 2) was filmed. Let me count the ways I am nostalgic and happy right now.
*Apartment is probably a much too generous word to describe my dwelling. A subterranean teeny studio is probably more accurate (yep, I lived below ground in a 20th arrondissement basement. Infested with spiders. But that’s a story for another day).
