Little Frenchman, Little Feet
Went shopping for rollerblades. Available as cheaply as 45 euros/pair.
But, the Frenchman is a small genus of european humanoid. Think of Sartre. You never saw him photographed standing next to anyone, did you? Or Camus? They faked the whole "lonely existentialist figure" thing to avoid standing next to brawny Germans like Heidegger in daguerrotype sittings. Vichy France anyone?
My feet are on the large side--size 13 in US sneakers, or size 14 in US basketball sneakers--but seriously, how is it that the great continental capital of Paris doesn't carry my size in rollerblades, period?
