You want bracelet?

We just go back from a walk around Sacre Coeur. Sacre Coeur is a huge church in the north of Paris.

To get to the church, you have to walk up some big stairs. As we went up the stairs we saw that there were some young African men who were going up to people and trying to sell them little bracelet thingys.

The way that they sell them is really clever. First they select their victim. They then wlak up to them and start tying their small braid bracelet to your finger while trying to engage in a conversation. If you try to walk away they start shooting shouting at you, dragging you into the guilt trap. Apparently they charge about 5€!! ($10).

Thankfully we didn’t get caught but it was quite interesting to see how it works.
