Montmartre is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Paris. Oh yes, it can be very touristy, but take the rue less traveled and you'll love it. I thought we'd just spend the weekend here. Hope that's alright with you!

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.

Good morning, Virginia. I LOVE the new heading. So perfect for Christmas. Your photo of the bearded man and all that shopping is making me wish I were in Paris for Christmas. On the other hand...
Sounds good to me! Oh, and I love your new banner photo.
It sounds good to me too, Virginia. And your current banner pic is a magnificent choice for the season.
Hello Virginia, I stayed in Montmartre many years ago, when I was an art student, and I love, love, loved it.
Thanks for sharing, your blog is great.
Another voice of admiration for the banner photo. Charming 'hood.
Fine with me, V! Monsieur has a great face—glad you caught him. Add me to the banner photo fan club (I think that M now stands for "Meeps.") :~}
A good candid.
Bea thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Glad you enjoy my blog!
Thanks everyone. I think Merci is one of the most fun shops in the Marais. If you don't know how this concept store began, Google Merci Paris and find out about the good work they do. It's also ever changing. I have been 3 times now and it's always different and the cute red Fiat is decorated in a different way.
I love the area of Montemartre, as you've captured, there's an eclectic mix of people, shops and buildings.
At first I thought you had taken a picture of my husband in Paris – but his leather jacket is not so long - apart from that, everything else is the same! Great picture.
Great street shot!!!
And I have to agree with all the thumbs up for the banner shot!!! and I love how you are doing "Paris Through My Lens" these days!!! Very artistic and fun!!!
I can't even figure out how to reposition my title, or even center it!!!
wv: vasychos...vichyssoise spelled incorrectly!!!
You can't fool me, that's Santa Claus disguised as a Parisian.
I wish we had spent more time in Montmarte, but am reliving it now through your pic here and my Abbesses Metro stop post.
Starman,
May be or could he be one of the artists??
Chieftess,
Here's the secret: Put your photo in Picasa and do a text box, then export it. Voila!
Vagabonde,
How funny would that be! :)
Bonjour Virginia
Rouge sits so well in Paris !! I love to see the splashes of vibrant red on the little cafe canopies - makes my heart sing!!
xx

Dianne,
I find rouge à Paris a delightful game on each visit! :)
How did ToonMan get to Paris? I swear that's his (and Jay's) double!
What a scrumptious tour of Paris through your lens! My last trip to France's capital was in July 2009 - your snaps make me long to go back again! Luckily, our friend Isabelle from Paris will be landing in Minneapolis any minute and having dinner at our house on Monday night!
Bonsoir - bonne nuit
What a wonderful thing to meet blog amies! Let me hear and send photos please!
