Who’s Smoking?
At the top of this page you see the portraits of twenty French smokers — artists, politicians, scientists and others. Some of them were born in France, others chose France as their home country later in life. The image changes each time you open Frogsmoke or refresh the screen.

I’ve just discovered your blog, and I’ll come back. By the way, Georges Simenon was Belgian. Greetings
