Notre Dame, probably the most visited church in Paris. For good reason. I learned early on that she is too magnificent to capture all at once. Her beauty lies in the details.

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.

Absolutely! Applied everywhere, in fact
Sante, as Captcha reminds me...
Am in total agreement with you there—and this is one of its simplest but loveliest. Bon dimanche, V.
Who was it who said that "God is in the details" ? In any case, beautiful photos like this one can often be found by looking ever more closely at things, at the details...
Hope your holiday weekend was a good one !
Lovely, V!
My dream is to go to Paris for the first time,and shop at SHAKESPEARE & CO,and buy a copy of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, and sit in the church reading it! Wonder if it will ever come true?
I've been to Europe, but not to France!
Virginia, I think that there could be thousands of photos of ND and still not truly capture it all. Love this detail you shot.
Oh Gary, you should just plan to go and Virginia and I will help you fill your dance card with things to do (after you read your book)!
Bises,
Genie
Do it, Gary!
I need to practice what I preach. I'm really missing Paris today.
Have you been there for a service, yet?
Gary, I wish you could join us as well.
Starman,
No I"ve not been there for a service. IT's too crowded most of the time. Only in the dead of winter is it calm enough to really enjoy.
Thank you all , I love your comments so much. I"m very busy now and don't feel I get around and comment here as much as I should.

What a lovely sight, it really puts me in the Holiday mood.
Sounds like a grand idea to me there Gary, can we all tag along.
Lovely lights, lovely lovely Notre Dame!
