Le petit navigateur (Weekend Street/Reflections # 107)

 

Paris. France

Un concept simple qui existe depuis plus de 150 ans sur les bassins des Jardins des Tuileries à Paris.

Un souffle de vent dans les voiles de ces petits bateaux et, avec eux, navigue le bonheur des enfants les dirigeant avec leur gaffe.

A simple concept that has existed for more than 150 years in the pools of the Jardins des Tuileries in Paris.

A breath of wind in the sails of these small boats and, with them, sails the happiness of the children directing them with their gaff.

Have a great weekend!

Now you can link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless there is a reflection.

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

James, what a wonderfully classic street photo, and it also has a fine reflection.

Well I thought that was Rittenhouse square. Silly me

What a perfect spot to sail a toy boat and so nice to see a child's joyful jump.

Good to see a child playing a simple game instead on having their head buried in a phone. James a great street shot. Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

He looks like he's having fun, outdoor play is good.

Our klids did that - we couldn't work out how they always came back. It must be how the sails are set but we couldn't figure it out - great fun!

I'm thinking that was the pond where our granddaughter learned about boat tending. Would probably have been 2012 or so. They lived in London but came to Paris a lot on the train.
Nice capture, James.
