Hi Virginia! The Guimard collection of Metro entrances is fabulous!! I saw his particular one many times from my room at the Hotel du Louvre... ;)
Thanks for your comment at Blogtrotter Two, where Egypt 2010 ended up in magnificent glory for Ramses II at Abu Simbel! Look forward to reading you there again, and have an exceptional weekend!
Lamp posts, Guimard metro entrance, the brown signs that tell you which direction to go to find museums or the post office, the Louvre, French flag, and people taking pictures! What did I miss?
Anne, I think you fouond the all...even the Louvre?
Mad, Well Peter and I did walk right there but the truth is my photo library was in a pickle last night and this is an old draft from a previous trip! :)
Trotter, Your blog is amazing. I will certainly visit often. V
Love this photo in black and white, V. I am late and Anne has already named them all and good for her! I could tell right where this was taken and wish I was there now! Let's go!
I noted the quintessential Parisian balconies just visible on the left, and in addition to the Louvre exhibit poster is the movie poster—I love to go to the movies in Paris! This is an image that's just overflowing with the wonders of Paris!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

I'm still hoping someone will transplant one of those lamp posts onto my street. It's a beauty, V.

Oh all the Art Nouveau...fabulous!
Truly a photo that says "PARIS" -- the best part: knowing that you were there taking the photo.

You are a clever woman...excellent photo. I feel the presence of Peter at your elbow perhaps after a delicious lunch at Cafè Nemours?
Architecture, lamps, culture, metro, people taking photos... There's a lot in the city and in this picture.
God bless you!

The person taking photographs hogs the limelight here, V.
