Maybe you see this as just a jumble of chairs. To me, it represents the delightful way that Parisians gather with friends. Sometimes it's in the grass seated in a circle as they share a picnic lunch. More often, I think it's in parks such as Luxembourg, the Palais Royal, or here at Tuileries. The chairs are gathered in a circle for conversation and perhaps a glass of wine or champagne. Paris, j'adore!

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.

Ho potuto apprezzare la comodità di queste sedie godendomi l'ombra delle piante dei giardini di Luxenbourg.
Paris, J'adore!

These chairs are covered by snow today ! Yes we had our first snow during the night and everything was white this morning when I woke up.
Oui, c'est vrai Virginia, ces chaises sont faites pour retrouver des amis et discuter avec eux dans un jardin! Mais en été pas en hiver !
With all the friends we have, we'll have to draw up a few more chairs. Love this!
Snow? Vraiment? I'm ready, Laurent!
Snow, indeed! Snow on avenue de l'Opéra! http://twitvid.com/SL6JN
Works pour moi!
A circle of ghosts who have escaped the cold today!
