"I'll have the Filet" |

Waiting for the bus! |
Parisians love their dogs! They go everywhere - in restaurants, stores, trains, metros, bicycle baskets - dogs are part of life. They are well-behaved - usually more so than their human companions. The ubiquitous "piles" on the street are the result of the two-legged animals being thoughtless!
When Jacques Chirac was Mayor of Paris, he deployed an army of "motto-crottes" - city employees on motor scooters with vacuums to clean up the mess. More recently Paris Mayors have turned to fines with an army of enforcers - up to 200 Euros. they "say" this has worked! City Hall recently declared that Paris was "No Longer the Dog Mess Capital of the World!" Now there's a slogan for a City!
It may be my imagination but I think the problem is less than in the past. BUT - watch where you walk in Paris!
