Who said Parisiens are rude?

Today as a class we explored Le Marais quarter in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements. The area has some of the oldest architecture in Paris. Now there are many small boutiques and restaurants. It also has a large Jewish community. We ate lunch on a street where there were several great Jewish bakeries. On my own I found a designer consignment shop called Yukiko on rue Vieille du Temple. It must have had a dozen vintage Chanel bags and accessories. I was holding my camera when I walked in and the store keeper insisted I take pictures. Then he wanted to be in a picture himself. It was hilarious! He knew a bit of English and was so amused when I said I am from Texas.
