Ah, those French. They are so much more evolved than us. Jolie laide (ugly-pretty) is their term for a sort of off-key beauty. Uh, not that I am, just that I appreciate the balance in the lop-sided. And I struggle for grace in a city that grants moments of beauty and ugliness breathtakingly close to one another, sometimes creating a gorgeous gasp of a moment. So here is some of what I see.
