A classic Sidewalk Cafe in Paris

A table for two with an iron base and a round marble top.

Two colorful wicker chairs, side by side.

Wherever you are in Paris, it is a classic sight and has been for more years than I am old.

But now, a new trend is out and about ...

Young dolled-up INSTAGRAMMERS called INFLUENCERS.

Are they "influencing" to come to Paris by striking a pose, wearing high heels, a beret of any color other than the basic black or blue, and carrying a baguette as an accessory, smiling with a pout for all three seconds?

They then look at the small screen to be sure they look good and redo the photo if needed. 

Post it if they look good.

Then they race off to another scenic postcard opportunity:

Buy a croissant, and sit at a Sidewalk cafe.

Emily in Paris is an understatement.

By the way, very few French people wear colorful berets,

and one only carries a baguette to take it home to eat.
