Back to School
Parsons life-drawing class © B Bishop
The city comes alive with tanned Parisians meeting again at sidewalk terraces - spunky and refreshed after the "grandes vacances"! In France, la rentrée is the buzzword for back to school, back to work and back to business. It's also a good time to study a language, resume that unfinished degree or take a course just for the fun of it.
