I'm sure you've guessed why I took this shot, not to mention the funky pattern on the tabletops. It's something I don't remembering seeing in a Paris café before. Add the rouge serviettes de table, and voilà!
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.

It is so CHIC:)
oui, c'est très chic et plutôt moderne...j'adore ce style
The colours are so dramatic together, and that funky pattern is fun and unexpected!
C'est assez rare de voir d'aussi jolies tables à la terrasse d'un café à Paris !
Cet endroit donne envie d'aller y déjeuner ou dîner!
Oh my old place settings would look apropos on that table
Claudine,
Absolument! Peut-être ensemble??:)
I agree with Les reves, it is very moderne i think for a cafe, although I have seen some rather chic, sleek cafe decor!
Pourquoi pas ! C'est une bonne idée !
Nice capture, V. The table is gorgeous and different too, but that serviette rouge makes it!
