OK so they may not be French kids! But the city is full of exchange trips at the moment and Fat Franck's restaurant is definitely French. It's just round the corner from the railway station, hence the suitcase footfall, and it does very good grub.
busy scene and great colour for that cafe, nice summation of a city full of French exchange students - it's a hazard in Poole and Bournemouth in the summer too
Great shot.
