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.

That's a beautiful scene, V, and I love the framing of the arch.
Delightful and so quiet.
Oh I want to be there walking through all that glorious history .. if those walls could speak
Beautiful! It reminds me of the small towns we saw in Provence. Also, love that banner shot. I wish I were back in that room right now!!
Ah gee, Virg, these French shots just get better and better. So many histories in one picture. Brava! Brava!
Isn't it wonderful to get out and wander around France ?!?
I went to Joigny quite some time ago, on the way down to Vezelay...
Great shot of medieval France.
I love it! You really captured this scene in a wonderful way. It looks classic.
Very lovely, Virginia, and the people only add to the quality of the capture.
This is an outstanding photo. The architecture and composition are great but the photo vibrates with humanity because you've included the man and woman walking. Excellent.
This is a really great photograph. Love the tones and the contrast. The scale of the entry is amazing.
