PETA, PARIS, and Pterodactyls

Les Champs lit up for christmas and emily taking a picture of it. 

PETA ads in the metro station- and I thought they didn't exist in france. But this one is shaky it is supposed to be a row of les lapins (bunnies) hanging up.
And the girl is saying I am a victime of fashion just like You! (to the bunnies) while holding a Knife. (makes perfect sense- that vest is ugly) and then 1 vest= 25 bunnies and 1 sac/purse is another amount of bunnies- I cut it off.
Then after saying that they don't allow ugly things inside the middle of Paris I see this! At St. Michel (right next to the Jardin du Luxembourg aka seat of french parliment or something like that and a very pretty park that was in a much older post) 
Then on my way to class I saw this cafe that was celebrating the arrival of this season's wines by blowing up balloons in the shape of grapes ad hanging them on the roof. I thought it was cool. 
C'est hyper mega super cool! 
This is a video of the bears in one of the shops along the champs. They sell everything from touristy trash to salami and instead of hot chocolate they sell hot wine (vin chaude)- because they're french. This clip is not THAT interesting but it comes from one of the bigger little houses built along the street. They even set up an impromptu Bar complete with ridiculous (ridic) high prices commonly found along the champs- even temporary bars for spreading christmas cheer won't pass up the chance to rip you off. Buddy the Elf would NOT approve.
