Thank you for your kind comments, Thubleau, Yes, this spot is at the Arc de Triomphe, at the very start of the Ave. Champs Elysees. I liked the street signage with the names of one of the world's great leaders and one of the most known streets. Finding a hunched hobo made my day and I knew I had a "keeper". Reminds me that all is not well in the great cities of the world. Poverty is swept under the carpet even in the fashion capitals ! --- WONDERSTRUCK
