I wish I knew where I took this last January. I believe I just stuck my camera up against a window. It's typical of most apartment entrances, but maybe larger than most, but every bit as charming.

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.

WOW!!! Love this shot!!! The effect is very antique!!!
It definitely looks European, Virginia! Isn't it funnuy how we can tell....
Ginnie,
The uneven stairs for starters! :)
Chieftess,
I worked on it! :)
Nice capture, V. This escalier is definitely listing a bit to starboard—but that just adds to its charm.
Alexa,
Why I haven't fallen down some of those Parisian stairs by now, I'll never know. THe ones to our flat last January were so worn and lopsided, but lovely of course.
V
That escalier could use a bit of tender, loving care before someone gets killed.
Fantastic! It looks like something out of an old movie!
Exactly as I remember the French apartment staircases ...
Needs a bit of repair, but I agree, 'tis charming! And so Parisian!
I love that curve!
Authentic, Virginia. Hope owners won't renovate it, it is telling us its story.....
Good choice for a post.
Wow, I'm in love with this photo!
Scrumptious! I'd be happy to walk up them every day.
