Last summer, Mary, Peter and I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Aux Marches du Palais near the Palais de Tokyo. ( A quick shot from our table. The composition could use some work!)
I think you would have been on their list even if it was 5, not 51. I look forward to my daily dose of Paris through your lens every day! Would love to lunch at this inviting place.
Congratulations Virginia. It's good to see your wonderful blog getting the attention it deserves. I agree with Sherree about the fetching gentleman. He looks the quintesential french homme.
Fabulous about your blog being featured! Photos like this show just why you were picked; a warm and inviting look into Parisian restaurant. As much as I'm delighted to see this well-dressed and handsome Frenchman, I'm actually more excited about the cool mosaic floor! I'll have to put this place on my list of places to try in September.
Katie, Well I'll admit I didn't notice the flooring. Maybe smiling gentleman stole my eye! HA V
Thank you everyone. I"m of course very flattered that my blog was recognized. It's just the best fun to share my photos and memories of Paris with you alll. The fact that it is recognized is the the whipped creme on the chocolat mousse!
The handsome man is the owner... he's very nice, speaks English and is there every day. This is a lovely little resto with great food. I used to work just around the corner, wonderful to see it featured!
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 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.

Congratulations for being featured, Virginia. I totally agree with their choice of you!!!
Woohoo, congratulations, Virginia ~ clearly they have excellent taste!
A warm and inviting spot ~ did the fetching gentleman work there, or just visiting? He looks like he's happy to be there, whatever the reason.
