Ballad for the quarante-neuf-Van Ness
49 Van Ness from Jon Reyes on Vimeo.
Though I sadly couldn’t get a photo of that one, we at least have this: more French stuff on a Van Ness line.
I take 47s and 49s — pardon, les quarante-septs et les quarante-neufs — all the time and it’s always a treat when I come up on such students. It helps me think dreamily of Paris instead of the yelling guy who shows up on the 47 in the early evenings.
This rules.

The song is “L’hymne de nos campagnes” from Tryo
Cool! I’ll look it up and have a listen.
That was sweet. I wish my muni experiences were as entertaining as this.
There’s a language school called EF International on Hyde between North Point and Beach. There are tons of young French speakers who study there. I see many of them on the 47 every evening. There seem to be some students who speak other languages there as well, but the majority that I see are French speakers.
Thanks for the info! I knew there had to be something around there.
