Cat Under a Cold Tin Roof:

It’s about 19 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius) in Paris right now. I watched this cat watching the cold for several minutes this morning. When he turned away at last, his tail lingered in the air, half visible like a blacksnake in black water, then disappeared altogether.

Rhinophobia: The most menacing men’s room in Paris - at least when it comes to the decor. At Café de l’Industrie.

Yes, we like bistro cats as well. This one is in the funky East-Paris Café de l’Industrie. (See our most recent shot of the rhino in the men’s room, above.)

Not exactly “The Artist”: a poster for Jean Dujardin’s latest French film, “Les Infideles,” on the side of a kiosk in Place de la Bastille this afternoon.

Paris rarely gets more gray than it was yesterday. But this morning it’s a whole lot colder - well below freezing.

We’re suckers for Paris cafés where dogs are habitués. This is Oscar, a schnauzer that dropped by L’Étoile Manquante in the Marais yesterday afternoon.

Fire and Ice: The last night at Davos at the Brazilian Soirée; the last morning on the way down the mountain bound for Paris. Goodbye to the World Economic Forum, back to the real world.
