Do you remember, my old Ask a Frenchman blog? A few years ago, I imported a few posts here. Well, what about I import more? Maybe all of them if I find the time? Let’s start with this one. It was originally posted in 2009, so some things may have […]

I guess it’s the time of the year when I wish you a Merry Christmas! Or whatever it is you wish to celebrate (remember, for most of us, Europeans, Christmas is not a religious holiday, it’s a family, food and presents holiday). I wasn’t sure what picture to use to […]
Still catching up with Inktober, and difficult to do with another prompt that doesn’t really inspire me – Coat. Really, for a long time, I didn’t know what to draw apart from – you know – a coat… A famous character with a coat? Humphrey Bogart? As if I could […]
When I saw that the 23rd prompt for this year’s Inktober was Ancient, it’s pretty much the first thing that came to mind, and I didn’t change my mind since. That’s pretty much all. It’s in my eyes one of the most important works of art on earth, I hope […]

Only about 600 people live there, and it is considered one of the most beautiful villages in France (probably in my personal top 10).The location has been populated since the earliest times, several archeological sites located […]
Place de la Bastille in Paris – an allegory The photo was taken on May 8th 2007. I’m not 100% sure what protest it was, but as it was a week before Sarkozy was elected President, I assume it was a protest against him. Of course, it’s a […]
What happened to me posting pictures of France during the summer? Well, life happened, and being busy with my Japan blogs, and Inktober too. So, let’s try: posting pictures of France during the end of autumn. 🙂 This is Rocamadour : Rocamadour, despite being a bit too […]
Gift is day 28’s prompt of Inktober this year and since the first time I saw that, I knew that I wanted to draw le Schtroumpf Farceur (Google is telling me that he’s called the Jokey Smurf in English). However, after a couple of attempts, my smurf looked pretty ugly […]
