Paris Street Performers

When we first arrived in Paris and started to make our way to our our hotel in the Bastille district, one of the first experiences we had was listening to a street performer play violin while we rode the train from the Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport to the closest metro station. I thought to myself "oh, this is neat". After a day in Paris, I learned that the city is brimming with street performers, some good, some not-so-good.

Here's a video I put together of some of my favourite performers and a few interesting things that I just couldn't seem to ignore.

The talent and creativity of some of the performers made me feel like I caught a glimpse into some kind of bohemian world. It was like they were trying to hold on to the magic of the bohemian revolution of the late 1800's when being an artist and delving into your passion was main stage.

I was definitely inspired.
