Greenmarket Square or Little Paris?
Monday, January 12th, 2009I was walking through Greenmarket Square today, and I was amazed at how in some ways it has not changed in 20 year, but in some ways it is completely different!
The most remarkable change is how European it now looks, being almost completly surrounded be Parisian Cafe’s, restaurants and coffee shops. These pictures do make me feel like I am sitting in a little corner of Provence. All I need is a glass of ”vin ordinaire”, or perhaps a ”petit cafe”.

Compare the first pic to the above, which I took in Paris about three years ago, could almost be the same place.
Enjoy Cape Town - little Paris.
