Do you know Eric? Adorable, witty, gently mocking, Eric is one of those people it's good to meet, at any time, in any place, in any circumstance, because they improve life with a joke, a retort or a simple gesture of attention. This strong fellow from the North who has an amused and benevolent outlook on the human race can make you smile or laugh out loud in no time. As the Americans say, he is able to “make your day”, that is to say, to brighten your day with a simple witticism. With Didier, his sidekick, who is of the same caliber, Eric “runs the house” at the La Perle café from early morning until 18 p.m. Behind their booth, these two ambiance artists see regulars and tourists passing by, whom they treat with equal kindness, whether young or old, employees or bosses. And when he talks about the Marais, once again, Eric's keen observation hits the mark.
