Ménilmontant

This is not in chronological order, but since we left off with La Feline, I think it fitting we start there now that we've actually been there! The previous post is a photo of the sign, as seen coming down the street, just above where the girls sit in the black and white shot. THIS—this was a fun night! I really liked the area of Ménilmontant even though we didn't see much of it, it just had a laid back yet energetic vibe. We were invited to a private party there by the dynamic duo Sean and Natacha, aka The Fugitives. Sean, a surfboard-shaping Californian married Natacha, a Parisian rock-n-roll artist and, voila, the punk band The Fugitives was born. Never before have I seen a couple so in love! They are regulars at La Feline and so we went to meet them there...with no idea what we were in for...
We got off the metro with an hour to kill, so we wandered around just a bit. Here is some mesmerizing graffiti I found right around the corner...

Well, back now mere hours before the volcano disaster (phew!) we can begin to tell the tale of Two Friends in Paris...
