Today, we had the pleasure of visiting again at the home of Agnes and Marc in Thorigny sur Oreuse. You may remember meeting Agnes in her studio here. I found their garage a feast for the eyes!
Really nice new banner. Nice bike; my speed. All from yesterday were very nice, indeed. But the pews and the doors as seen through the iron gate deserve special mention. I take some exception to Evelyn's post from yesterday. A suitable alternative to coming back to B'ham is to stay there, buy a place with plenty of guest rooms; we will come to you.
I am so aching to be there in person ... I know, I say that a lot. I mean it. Maybe repeating it over and over will get me there faster... NO dont tell me it wont, let me dream
V, I am just sitting here shaking my head every time I open your post. Your pictures are just wonderful as have been all your headers. I am so wishing I was with you learning lots - maybe next time. I agree with Doug - just buy a place and we'll ALL come visit! Yippee!!!!
Sharon is right. She's right because I agree that *each* corner in France is charming but your eye is absolutely great. As foreign and as a good photographer you have the ability to put in evidence what really deserves to be seen. This the reason because it's not difficult to love your blogs (I mean this one and the Birmingham too.
BTW I had a Citroen Dyane me too years ago. Great car !
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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 banner is a knock-out, V.

Did you get to help empty the champagne bottles?
Starman, No help with these bottles but Lord have mercy, I think Peter and I drained a few in Paris!
Doug,
You're in charge of the finances. I am more than willing to park myself in Paris and welcome you all. Ahhhhh!
Paris! OOh La La!
I have just discovered your blog. What you say is so true - just one visit ... you never forget.
I love your blog. :)
