Gotta love the Paris Rouge... only your B&W's surpass your touch-of-red photos. There is something so elegant, soothing and meditative about these captures, and I've missed them so much... but here they are, and I am catching up as fast as I can. You are one master photographer, Virginia... David ;) *
We've never been to la Cité de l'Architecture et du Partrimone. We almost booked a flight in December, but when it didn't take, we changed our minds, because we want to go to Montréal next summer.
I like the small splash of red flowers in the Festival Rouge photo. I almost didn't notice it at first, and I saw the word "dessert" on the poster! I haven't been to la Cité de l'Architecture either, but I definitely plan on going there on my next Paris visit as it looks like a very interesting place (and has lovely red walls).
May i just say ONE MORE TIME , that this museum is just the most fabulous!! Katie and Starman and all of you must go. Peter, Mary and I were blown away with it.
I"m so glad you all enjoy Paris Rouge as much as I do. I can squeeze out a few more and then it's time to return for more! :)
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.

You're making your own luck, Virginia ~ others wouldn't even notice the things you see.
More red than "Festival Rouge" is difficult! :-)
I love your new header picture
