to pop over to Cartier for a new watch? Oh, Place Vendôme gives "upscale shopping" a whole new meaning.

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.

Hee! I'd happily watch this scenery.
I'd rather pop into the Hotel Ritz (also on the place Vendome and where Lady Di did) and have a drink in the Hemingway Bar.
I always forget how large that area is... Those guys are diminuitive next to the monument!
Tell Paul that I'll join him!
Genie
Definitely need to spend more "time" there! Our venture through Place Vendome was much to brief!
I tried on a half million dollar necklace at that Cartier store. I didn't ask to try it on, they insisted. Oh, how I wish I had a photo of that.
Great shot, V. And I'm with you as well, Paul (although high tea is pretty nice there too)!
j'ai vécu longtemps à Paris vos photos sont superbes !
With a suite at the Ritz and a drink at the Hemingway Bar!
Doesn't everyone stay at the Ritz?
Looks cold .. I think they are checking to see when they can go get warm
Honestly, I don't remember the plinth being so large!
Beautifully photographed street photography !
Starman -- some of us stay at the Esmeralda! (to save our euros so we can have drinks—or high tea—at the Ritz, of course) :~}
A beautful composition, I like the shadowless light and the green of the column.
