The Teddy Bears of Paris...
All the talk is about Paris at the moment, a city I love and never get tired of visiting. We were there a week ago prior to all the madness of the Olympics. As we strolled around the 13th we came across The Teddy Bears of the Gobelins. These are giant Teddy Bears that were introduced to the district to bring joy to the people of the area. There are about 50 of them scattered about, sitting in restaurants, looking out of windows, relaxing in parks, waiting at bus stops.... There is a dedicated team of protectors who ensure that they are not damaged or stolen. They certainly brought a smile to my face and lets face it, sometimes the world can seem a sad place and a little bit of joy is welcome. I hope they bring a bit of joy to your Friday....
