Really, what could be a better place to sit and perhaps have a sip of wine in Paris? Relaxing by the fountain at les Jardins des Tuileries with a view of le Louvre...parfait!
My 100 Strangers Challenge is featured in this month's issue of B-Metro Magazine. Take a look here!
I can almost imagine these chairs having a chat with each other! Parfait indeed, V. And congratulations on the feature in B-Metro Magazine ~ how wonderful!
Here's what I love about Paris—and this photo: It could have been taken yesterday or 40 years ago! Congrats on the well-deserved feature in B-Metro (still don't have the nerve to ask but one of these days . . .).
I knew all my Paris junkies would love this. How fun would it be if we all converged on Paris at the same time and just had a blog gathering around this fountain with champagne of course! ahhhhh Paris! V
Starman, Oui, I was very flattered as you can imagine.
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.

Simply beautiful, Virginia. How peaceful! You're right, grab a glass of wine, a great book and enjoy the view.
SO cool . both the feature and this photo
I wish that I could close my eyes, click my heals and be transported to that very spot.
YAY! Fantastic photo! Oh how many day dreams have I had about this exact location....
Congrats on the 100 strangers mention! You are so famous.
That's a nice piece they did on you in B-Metro.

Starman,

Ah! Le Louvre! I was there in 1990,the beginning of the Fin de Siecle. Being in Paris was the first time I ever felt at home. Sweet memory...
Lovely...and I'll join you there for a sip of wine or champagne!!!
Everyone is welcome. We'll have a lovely time sitting and enjoying this fabulous view and passing around the champagne bottles!
