Old book editions, chinese curios, Art Nouveau, kitchens which smell good, crispy bread & butter from Isigny, painting, travelling by train, fresh roasted coffee, spending houres drinking it at a cafes terrace, sneezing more than twice in a raw, stormy nights, rainy mornings, absinthe, clocks tic-tac, freckles, traboules, truffles, nice vests, fancy cufflinks and cigarettes cases, citroen mehari, tartines, old-fashioned Chateauneuf-du-Pape (not the "southern Beaujolais" you can find in the grocery store), having panache, being altruist, being lavish, being shocked, being scandalized, especially by insignificant stuff, working less, reading l'Equipe at le Cafe des Jacobins in Lyon ... Liberte, Liberte cherie, je dirai tu es a moi.
Travelers covered in freckles.
