Pare-Brise du Jour

Every day I see flyers stuck under windshield wipers in cars parked along the street. I don't know why, but I've been collecting them for over a year now. A slice of Paris life.

I have no knowledge of or vested interest in the establishments advertised in these flyers.

If you see a bona fide Paris windshield advertising flyer and would like to have it posted here, submit the scanned version to me at pollyvousfrancais [at] yahoo [dot] com and I'll do my best to include it. With attribution, of course!

Taj Mahal

This flyer was under windshield wipers in the 18e arrondissement. Perhaps trying to make a visual connection to Sacre Coeur?

S'il te plait...

Of course, "S'il te plait, dessine-moi un mouton..." is a classic line from Le Petit Prince.

Cheminees anciennes

That would change your apartment from parquet, moulures, cheminees to just parquet moulures...

Municipal Elections

Lots of campaign flyers on windshields in the past weeks. This is a non-partisan blog, so I'm including them all. But these are just the flyers from windshields; it doesn't include the hand-outs on street corners.

Talky

Forfait is another one of those faux amis. It means "plan," i.e., a calling plan or package. Not forfeit.
