Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

The red coat required patience.
belle serie, tu rends hommage a notre belle capitale.
Virginia, I so look forward to this daily feast for the eyes and heart. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Wow! Awesome photos.. Did you climb all those steps? ohhhh, my poor knees ache just looking at them.
I am loving these photos and will enjoy trying to find these places when I am there.
17 more days.
Congratulations on your Paris blog! What a great set of photos to strat with! I love them all and I'm looking forward to see what's next! :-)
Virginia, I'm glad you started this blog to share your amazing photos of Paris. Can't wait to see them all! These are just beautiful. I love the red coat!
Virg,
The read coat is the best one, IMHO.
New blog is great!

This is great news a blog with your Paris shot... Cant wait for more...
Bonjour! C'est fantastique. Belle lumiere et rouge... Ok Hello .. this will be a regular time out. Too early for the wine but I can drink in the wonderful Parisian images.
What fabulous photographs. Adore the gentleman with the saluki. How elegant. I'm looking forward to being part of your Paris trip.
She shoots, she SCORES!!!
Virg, you continue to do amazing work, I'm sooooo impressed.
Merci mille fois mon amie...
xx,
M
I simply love the first picture about which one could sing "J'me voyais déjà..." from Aznavour
I can't wait for the next episodes from an american lady in Paris!
Jilly,
My caption was almost," Who says the French don't have a sense of humor!" He was just great and stopped and posed his dog just pour moi! In fact everyone in Paris was incredibly friendly and helpful and I tried to return the favor!
I like all of these, but that one of the woman in the red coat is magical and lovely! Well done.
Two of my favourites in all your Parisian photos are here yet! I let you guess which ones...;-)
those are great. Particularly the 1st and last! Just classic
Such lovely photos, V. Love the ones of the chairs lined up and, oh. those steps...I'm looking forward to the next instalment
There are two photos in this group I would have tried to take myself if I'd been there. But I'm not telling you which ones.
Paris looks good in the rain (or just after?) which is more than can be said for lots of cities.
Love the photos. Let me know the next time you come to Paris and if I am there I can show you some of my favorite photo ops.
You've got some classics there! I think the red coat stole our hearts.
The "manteau rouge" didn't appear to be anything special in the camera. It was a pleasant surprise when I downloaded my photos. I might enter it in a camera club competition this Thurs. I have not had ANY luck before, maybe I'll get lucky this time.
Oh, you did it! This is gorgeous! I tried, but all my photos of this stairway are awful. I'm laughing out loud, happy to see this beautiful shot!
Happy to see all these shots, Virginia. Your new blog has a new fan.
Thank you so much for sharing these, V. I love the way you compose your photos -- you make Paris look timeless, yet new. How on earth do you manage that? You are definitely supposed to visit this city ... and frequently! You make it come alive for all of us.
Excellent photos! I love the first (Frenchman and his dog) and last one (stairs) the best.
One of my favorites. Woman in Red Coat. Perfect angle, somehow this reminds me of that movie I seen in 1st grade. A child chasing down a red ballon throughought Paris.
Could this be Samantha Brown from her show on the Travel Network, Passport to Europe?
Belles photos!
So you went up the butte! Did you take the funiculaire, or were you brave and walked up? The views are absolutely beautiful. Wasn't that red coat a godsend?
