You're so right. Rain? Shine? Who cares—it's Paris! This is not so very far from where I lived (but that was back when anyone could afford to live here, or even in the 6th). Thanks for the great link!
Hi V. Sinatra's always been my favorite singers and "I Love Paris" has always been one of my favorite songs...in Paris I don't care if it's raining or not...so long as I'm in Paris! Nice capture!
One had best like rain and drizzle if one is going to enjoy living in Paris, for it does more than many may realize... but indeed, wet or dry, Paris is always... Paris...
I LOVE Paris anytime. I've been in all seasons and I love them all.
OK Christmas time is freezing but it is compensated by the amazing decorations which shine through the starkness of the winter landscape. And also the warmth and atmosphere of the cafes and bookshops (to escape from the cold, cold wind that even enters our bones)! I particularly LOVE the flower shops in winter and their magical displays of winter flowers and greenery. The sweet smell of pine and hellebores (the Christmas roses).
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.

V, If your going to be rained on it might as well be in Paris! Great shot.
I have just lined up a house-sitter for my trip to France in September. She also is a Francophile/phone.
She recommended I wander down lepic in Montmatre. How say you?

Julie,
Is that l'epic? I don't know it but I'll see on my map for you and let you know. Montmartre is a wonderful place to wander!
Alexa,
Absolutement!
Judy,
That's what I always say! :)
I love Paris, but not the weather in spring or winter.

Once again you've transported me to my fave city.
Thank you for sharing.
