This should put to rest, the question that I am often asked, "Virginia, why do you return to Paris over and over?" Ceci est ma réponse!

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'll have one "to go" - s'il vous plait!
I thought you were all hot and bothered over the bass player..
Yes, he was quite the dreamy-eyed performer, n'est-ce pas? Qui est ce beau gosse?
The next time you head to Paris I think I'll tag along!!!!
I see what you mean, Virginia. That's a fine piano accordion...
I'm with you! There are no words....
Handsome .. reminds me of Tony Danza ...
Vous aimez revenir à Paris! Est-ce que vous aimez l'accordéon ou le beau joueur d'accordéon?! Peut-être les deux!

He's adorable!!! Are you giving out his location? ;)
Place des voges -- I remember him well! Moi, je reviens pour la musique , bien sur (wink, wink) And for the great times with friends!
I never would have had to ask why you return again and again to Paris—but merci beaucoup for sharing this excellent reason. Miam!
Alexa, you and I are often of the same mind. I would never have to ask the question either.
Nobody's said "ooh la la" yet.
I'll join Petrea in a raucus Oooo la la!!! A good reason for travel anywhere, I might add!!!
He has such kind eyes!
