Our Beez is a lover of all things philosophical. Here he is in Paris at the famous Les Deux Magots cafe in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood near our tiny little hotel. Les Deux Magots, now a tourist destination, was once the hangout for such intellectual and artistic luminaries as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Pablo Picasso, Albert Camus, and Ernest Hemingway.
Beez was doing a little philosophizing and pontificating himself over some lovely wine and an assiette de fromages. In the background you can see my second-favorite Parisian waiter, and the two Chinese figures that give the place its name.

Love this! The picture is a perfect capture of Dad!! Xoxo
What a terrific shot of your Philosopher in Paris, Clariz! I have to admit I'm just a tad envious -- haven't been to Paris in years and would so love to go again!! Have a fantastic visit and enjoy for all of us back home!!

Well, you are just having too much fun. I'm just sitting in my woods watching the rain.
My heart swells when I think of you guys in Paris!!
Nice photo. I can see how one gets to philosophizing in such a lovely place.
One of my all-time favorite places...lucky you! Great portrait of the Mister!
Thank you all for your comments. For those of you who don't know him, this really is the Essential Beez.
Kate, I'm so glad you stopped by to see this post. Now both you and I have taken photos of Beez in some very different cafes!
That is a great photo! I can nearly imagine what he is discussing... nearly.
Beez is striking the perfect philosophical pose! How cool to visit a place so steeped in History. Have you seen the movie "Midnight in Paris?" The main character goes back in time to hang out with some of the people you mentioned. A romantic comedy, but, cute film.
