Apparently, those who are too tired from seeing the Palace of Versailles and it’s giant surrounding gardens by foot can pack in like sardines in order to get to the other side. Cform (who snapped the pic) calls them “canned tourists” adding that they missed “a 10-minute walk through the most beautiful garden parks you’ve ever seen.” We bet King Louis XIV (the original occupant) wouldn’t be caught dead in this ugly thing.

What’s not too like about Monet, Degas and Renoir? Nothing except when you have to spend hours on your feet walking through endless rooms and waiting in long lines while being careful not to bump into other fanny-pack-wearing tourists. At least that’s probably what this girl was thinking as she covered her eyes in protest. Ah, yeah we feel her pain — traveling in Paris must be so damn awful.

We’re used to all kinds of tourists, but we’re most fascinated by the ones who don’t bring enough clothing to wear on vacation especially when it’s winter time and you’re visiting one of the best art museums around (see Monet painting on left at Paris’ Musee d’Orsay). Our guess? She probably couldn’t fit her hair products or that giant silver bag into her suitcase so she chose to compromise her winter sweater.

The winter is a perfect place to go to Paris — there are virtually no tourists there. However, we did seem to find a few better-seen-in-summer stragglers. For example, this extra tall European visitor who was dressed in shades of pink. What would you call the color of his pants — raspberry? Anyway, he was hot.

Feed us! As we continue to grow, we are looking for pics from all over. (We're sure one of you has a great tourist shot from Tanzania, but we're not picky, Paris works too.) Get in touch with our editors at fannypackantics at gmail dot com. For every submission, we'll donate $1 to WWF, the global conservation organization. (That way, we'll feel less guilty making fun of fanny packs and keep the world from overflowing with shopping malls.)
