Beautiful! This is one of my favorite Paris museums too, and I've taken some photos through these gorgeous leaded-glass windows—hey, who could resist this view? These capture this place perfectly. Thanks, V.
Hello Virginia Musee Carnavalet is one of my fave places in Paris. Spent a morning there last September and have a photo much the same taken in the garden. I'm a gran too and my little ones live in France hence I have many trips to see them. Francophile - Oh yes! Thank you for sharing.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.

Oh! This first one is so Alice In Wonderlandish !!!
V, I love the distortion of the beveled, leaded glass and the absolute crispness of the topiaries and foliage maze!
Oh the lushness of the green contrasting with the aging brick ... love it
As you know one of my favorite spots. Beginning in April, they opened those large gates on rue des Francs Bourgeois.
Have you ever noticed how the gardens always seem so manicured but you never see anyone actually doing it.
Love the top shot!!! A very unusual capture V!!! Bon emploi!!!
(Ok...I confess, I looked up good job in a french translater!!!)
STUNNING
