Paris. December, 2005


“Why do Frenchmen eat such small breakfasts? Because one egg is un oeuf.” Maybe that groan-producing joke comes across better in the telling than in the reading. Maybe. But clearly one egg is not enough for some people, so happily this vendor at the Bastille market offers up fresh oeufs for the low, low price of 17 cents each. Cheaper by the dozen.
