Automne dans le Marais


These photographs were taken almost exactly a year ago in le Marais district of Paris. I just love the colors of this "Virginia creeper" and the fallen leaves almost as much as I loved walking the streets and photographing this old and lovely part of Paris.

Oh, I can see why you're in love with this, Virginia. How spectacular! {And don't the colours match your blog font colours nicely.} Ooh, my wv is dapper!

What a beautiful building! Do you remember in which street is it?
Just a little thing: in French, we would say "Automne dans le Marais" (or "Automne au Marais" but it does not sound great). Sorry, French is so hard...

I love the Matais. I don't think they would be called Virginia creepers inn Paris, but there are a lot of them there.

Starman,
That's what Jilly in Monte Carlo DP called it. Here we call it Boston Ivy. Who knew!

It's just too beautiful for words. I love that you love Paris so much, you've made such a difference in my life.

Virginia said...

Oh Paula, now don't you make me get all weepy. I do love Paris so, and I love doing this blog so much. It's like a little trip back each day when I pour over my photos and choose one or twofor all of you. I can't bear the thought of running out and having to stop. Well actually I have so many that I can run "marginals" for quite a while. A trip might be in my winter plans. I can't stop. I"m besotted.

I love autumn colors -- both photos are great, but that top one is definitely worthy of some award.

Ahhh, Parthenocissus vitacea! This was the hardest latin name I had to memorize in 9th grade Biology and I never forgot it because it was so hard to get in my brain in the first place!
