I'll be honest. I found this photo recently, taken July, 2009. Maya, Janet, Peter and I were on our trek up to the Sacre-Coeur and we stopped at the church and the small cemetery that adjoins it. Since, according to my recollection, the cemetery is only open one day a year, I feel like this must not be a mausoleum. Perhaps it's from inside the church. Anyone want to try and clear this up?

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.

The stained glass windows are quite recent as also this old church (partly form the 11th century) suffered from the Revolution, was even used as a telegaphic post for a while... and then restored.
If you really wish to visit the cemetery you must book a flight back for November 1, the only day it's open!
Well, Peter, you know our Virginia might just do that!
Given the colors and design, not surprised to learn this window is recent—but, oh Virginia, how you've captured the light! Trust you're having a very bon dimanche a Paris.
I think you could meet my daughter tomorrow or Tuesday, if you want it of course...
Alice,
I would LOVE to meet your daughter but we have so many plans made for tomorrow and Tuesday. There never seems to be enough time to see everyone. Thank you though.

Alexa,
We did have a bon Dimanche!
Only one day a year. That makes it so special. I'm glad you're having a wonderful time!
