Quasimodo ? *
by WONDERSTRUCK

Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris

Saw this character all hunched up and dejected in Paris, with all his life's belongings in a shopping bag from a shop called QUASIMODO next to him.

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

Great photo Wonderstruck and how it brings back memories.
I probably stood on this spot, it's near the Arc de Triumphe ?
