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.

1731 ~ is that the number of calories in one slice? Seriously though, it still amazes me to read of shops and businesses that have been operating for centuries. They are doing something right!
Well, if you don't eat it every day... I would rather spend my calories here than on the mundane chocolate. These pastries are so worth it!
Moi .. because I have willpower and I am not going to be in Paris til next year .. sometime .. sigh
It's always been my understanding that there are no calories in pastries eaten while traveling...
At least we're able to appreciate your picture and we won't gain an ounce!
I'm tempted, I'm tempted ... glad it's only a photo or my diet would be shot!
Looking thru the window is so delectable - food fit for a King!

Luckily, my metabolism is so good, I can eat anything I want.
I've tried pain au chocolat all over Paris and I still say Stohrer makes the best ones. (Just to make sure, I ate 15 of them on my last 3-week trip, as well as a few from other places, and yep, Stohrer win.)
We don't count the calories when it comes to chocolate as we love it.
