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.

You've given me another Church to add to my list to visit next time.
I love those kneeling chairs in French churches.
It's sad that most of the churches are so empty on Sundays - when I go there's usually only a handful of old people in the first few rows. But I do love hearing the Mass in French.
take care
Shane
Good tones and composition...
Shane,
I agree. It is sad that the churches in France are so rarely used for the purpose that they were built. These kneeling chairs are favorites of mine as well. Thanks for your visits and nice comments!
Wong,
I love seeing you here every day! Merci!

Bon Dimanche, Virginia. Thank you for introducing me to another Parisian church.
J'aime beaucoup l'intérieur des églises! Ces chaises vides attendent les visiteurs!
Virginia, I love this scene, one that is repeated church after church in Paris. I have not been to this one....
It is time to go back, mon amie.
Bises,
G
I love this composition—and the sepia tones.
Bon dimanche a toi, V!
I love your Sunday Paris Church series...there's nothing quite like being in one of these...the quiet, the beauty, the attention to detail, the art....they are quite rightly, magnificent...and you capture the spirit of them so well!
où sont les paroissiens ?
Owen,
je ne sais pas. It makes me so sad to see these wonderful churches with so few worshiping there.
This looks lke its from some other world.
Judging from the number of people at Church, looks like a lot of Parisians are going to...the other place!
Did you see my chairs? Also in a church tho mine are in St Pauls in Norwalk, CT
