This is part of Monmarte. Although these are the side streets, I didn't take any photos of the touristy area because there were a lot of gypsies and I didn't want to expose my camera/purse to them. So I clutched it tightly instead.
I ate some mint gelato while Mami got her portrait drawn...
All the streets artists had the same bargaining gimmick. I tried speaking on Mami's behalf....

Street Artist: Well, uhh you see, normally it is 60 euro, but I give it to you for 30 euro
Me: No, thank you.
Street Artist: Oh but come on, 30 euro is an incredible deal!
Me: Every artist we talked to has offered us that very same "incredible deal."
Street Artist: Well you must pay for good art!
Me: Okay, then show me an example...
Street Artist: But I have sold all of them!
Me: No thanks then...
Street Artist: Okay 25 euro, that's a deal you can't find anywhere
Me: Actually that guy over there offered to do it for 20 euro...
Street Artist: Okay fine, I will do it for 20 euro but no less..
Me: Naw, that's okay we only wanted to pay maximum 15 euro
Street Artist: Damnit, I'll do it for 15 but it won't be great...
Me: Sure.
So Mami got was she wanted, her portrait at Monmarte for 15 euro:
