Since when did Sequana ride a horse?

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your book, especially when commuting or traveling you transport the reader directly to the Rue Des Martyrs.

This type of service provider remains super common all around Asia (especially in densely populated middle and middle to lower income countries) like Jakarta, KL, Manila, and in many regional (smaller) cities and villages on their outskirts. The number and subspecialization of them are remarkable. For example can see mobile sellers of acquarium fish with plastic bags dangling from their carts, even ones that roll/ride or walk around exclusively to fill butane lighters. Its a lost art and believe that many of these would STILL work as business models if there were people willing to set up their carts and do the work. The biggest question I have about this particular knife sharpener is HOW GOOD is the quality of his work and the end product. It looks like this stone is too coarse and not fully round so its hard for me to imagine him getting good (not less long and durable) edges. But anyway, it was well worth watching and thanks for posting.

So good. Thank you.

Interesting book! I have just finished reading it. I will explore Rue de Martyrs in my next visit. As a shopping centre consultant, I like all those retailer’s stories in this book.

Hi Elaine How are you today?🌷🌻

In Glen Ellyn, IL there is a knife sharpener and he was out making the rounds yesterday. th-cam.com/video/_WPhWKZHNtE/w-d-xo.html

Hi Elaine, I've visited Paris a dozen times or more over decades. In these stay at home times, your book The Seine the River that Made Paris has refreshed fine memories. Thanks. Gustavo in Caracas.

Lived in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, in the 90's . "My" knife sharpener appeared periodically on my street with his pushcart/knife sharpener service and could be seen all over the South Zone of Rio. He never called out to advertise his services: the high-pitched grind of knife to stone was enough to bring maids and "donas de casa" out of their apartments and into the street.

We need a poetry in lockdown version please :)

Merci beaucoup, madame. Cette vidéo me rappelle cette belle ville de Paris au cours de mes années d’études universitaires là bas entre 1979 et septembre 1983. À part ma ville de Montréal, Paris est la ville que j’aime profondément.

Congratulations on your well earned honors! I discovered your book on the Rue du Martyrs after spending an epiphanous week visiting an old friend at his apartment in the 9th. I found myself drawn daily to walk up the hill and to get lost in the daily life of the real Paris. There must be more for you to write about this country you love so much, no?

What an incredible moment! Thank you so much for your writing and sharing YOUR Paris.

My family and I recently returned from a wonderful vacation with some friends in the 9th, and during our stay I became enthralled by this street! Thank you for your stories and sharing this.

These videos are a nice accompaniment to your book.

I'm reading and enjoying your book!
