Le chien Provençal

Le chien Provençal is a veteran frequenter of sidewalk cafés ... accustomed to eyeing the action from underneath the tables with eager interest, or perhaps a look of disdainful boredom ...



He understands that the village fountain is a good place to cool down on a hot summer's day, or have a drink, but never pee  ...




Le chien provencal is a seasoned brocanteur, and knows how useful he can be  for sniffing out the bargains ...


 ... guarding the goods ...


... and even manning the stalls ...


If left at home, on the other hand, le chien Provençal will make himself useful by guarding the village house ...


... while le patron of the village shop can rest assured that le chien will oversee the threshold, looking suitably intimidating ...


(Quel adorable! How could you not love this face?)

And what can be said of le chat Provençal? ...


For heaven's sake, don't tap on the window - you'll wake him up!
