Paris photo scavenger hunt?
I was reading the NYT travel section this morning, and saw an article about a photo scavenger hunt for NYC where the goal is to seek out scenes that are "intrinsically NYC" to capture with in a photo. Some of the categories included "biggest crowd waiting for a brunch table", "cheesiest statue of liberty souvenier", "a traffic police officer smiling", "most monstrous baby stroller", and "most unusual piece of refuse".
So, I thought this could be a fun ongoing 'activity' for our upcoming trip to paris - something that gets us out of the mode of going from site to site, and helps us appreciate what makes paris unique.
What are the quintessential paris scenes you would include on a paris photo scavenger hunt?

Used Metro tickets littering the ground at any Metro entrance.
A Paris street name up on the corner of a building.
A handwritten menu de jour outside a café or restaurant.
One of those little traffic signals at eye level (I just took a picture of one of those last week.)
A newspaper kiosk on a street corner.
One of the working boats on the Seine, complete with garden, TV antenna, clothesline, and automobile on the rear superstructure.
One of Paris's red Sapeur-Pompier firetrucks.
Racy lingerie ads in the Metro.
One of those signs in the Metro that list all the stops in the direction you're headed.
A Paris bus.
