'Why do birds suddenly appear?' Entranced by Chez Elles →

I am honestly at a massive loss as to understand why the Guardian didn’t use photos of the Elles, Nadia and Lili, for this piece. So ridiculously lovely, so ridiculously French, they’re a gift to anyone with the slightest ability to snap. Hey ho.

Actually, I’m a bit unclear as to why so many restaurant photos are done devoid of people. Is it a rights thing? I’ve never come across a restaurant that doesn’t look better rammed with happy diners. But, as ever, what do I know?
