Mon premier voyage, notre première journée! As we strolled down Boulevard du Montparnasse that afternoon, la Tour welcomed us to Paris. This is where I fell in love! The rest is history.

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 photo in black and white. Classic.
What a love affair we have with Paris.....it is a special place!
Oh my, there it is. It's standing in the rain, waiting for me. *sigh*
This is wonderful, V. Wish I had a photo of my "coup de foudre" Parisien. I still remember it though, even all these years later!
I love that there is so much to look at it this photo. The balconies, the motorcyles, and a peek a boo Eiffel Tower. All glistening with a recent rain.
Ah Virginia, but who cannot fall in love with Paris ? Especially when la Tour Eiffel peeks through trees or into apartment windows...

Oh Paris! Would a great image...the street, the little cafés and those balconies. You've captured it all.
Lovely. Looks like something right out of the 50s. If there were a way to make the little girl's coat red...
Wonderfully atmospheric in the afternoon dampness!
