Paris insight – ‘Sophistication’

A candid cafe moment that resembles a movie scene assembled
by central casting. A sophisticated middle-aged
woman holds a cigarette between bejewelled
fingers and stares indifferently into the distance as
her wine glass nears empty. Her style, her intensity, and her class are
intimidating… yet somewhat fragile
at the same time.
A classic slice of Paris.
