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.

I love this!!!
wv: addleism...a remembrance confused by a bit of befuddled thinking...
Very sweet, V!!
So sweet. Reminds me of the way my parents are together. :)
I love it, too. A Paris classic scene. You are amazing Virginia.
Love this and all the comments ..
Wonderful shot, V! I love that there are actually two couples in this picture—but it took me a moment to even realize that.
These scenes always make me very sad.
I think it is sweet, also. Not sad for me at all.
Thank you for your comments. This photo was a special memory for me. I saw so many dear Parisians walking arm and arm in the gardens and along the streets. I can't imagine anything more wonderful than taking the arm of a loved one and having a nice walk.
How sweet, love it.. hope that happens to me when I get old (older) :-)
isn't it amazing Virginia how much a photo can convey - this one warms my heart. I'm going to post a photo on my blog soon of that older lady danser that you featured in your March 2010 blog "Musique dans les Rues -la danseuse". She was so unique.I have seen her often on the Pont Ille St Louis always wearing the same outfit.

Touching.....but sad for me.
I understand what you wrote above, Virginia, walking "taking the arm"......it's so peaceful.
But in this particular picture, I find it sad. For me they are an old mother and her son, and I feel a kind of "devotion" (don't know if it's the good word, dévouement in french) that makes me feel sad.
Awesome capture!
aww , so sweet !! i lalalove this ! <3
