At the Jardin du Luxembourg on a sunny Sunday it seemed all of Paris took advantage of the break in the rain and cold to enjoy just strolling like this dear couple. I have more!

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 Medici Fountain is one of my favourite places in Paris!
So romantic shot!
*** Your header is fabulous!
Léia
My favourite public place in Paris.
Ah, this is my favorite quiet place in Paris, no matter the season. You captured this sweet couple beautifully as they walked in step together, arm in arm.

This is one of my favourite spots in the Jardin! I have many photos of me around that fountain/fence area.
And what a gorgeous photo you have taken, too.
Beautifully composed and captured, V! And a nice memory for me: In student days, when joining up with friends in the garden this was always our go-to meeting spot.
Have you ever thought of wearing a pedometer while in Paris just to see how many steps you actually take? Thanks for sharing your walks with us.
Harriet,
I'd love to know how many miles I"ve walked there. Unfortunately I"ve found a way not to lose weight. Eat bread, cheese and pastries and that cancels out the walking! HA
I'm happy to hear all of your wonderful memories of this special place in Paris. In the winter/fall the locals outnumber the tourists I think, and you are able to find nice shots such as this one.
HI Virginia, isn't this fountain stunning. Love your images and the old dears.. Carla
Such a romantic shot .. the monochrome makes it extra special
Wonderful shot Virginia!!! Such a charming old couple in such a charming spot!
Maybe because I'm so close to their age (if not indeed older), but the first thought that came to my mind was, "Perhaps they're looking for a future home".
