The standard advice for people visiting Paris is
don't wear sneakers. I would like to amend that old chestnut. Don't wear white sneakers, especially the kind with velcro strap closures. Do feel free to wear athletic shoes in most other colors. Definitely sport spangled high tops if you have them. I noticed several young people who used white sneakers as a canvas for their art work.

I wanted to be sure my examples showed real French people. |

| Well, they are definitely not white! |

| I snapped this French couple just before they hopped on their motorcycle. It seems she has broken the rule about white. |
