This gorgeous carrousel was in front of the Hôtel de Ville during the holidays. It's even more magical at night. This petit garçon needed a helping hand coming down from the upper level.

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.

Tellement mignon!!
This is so sweet! Do you ever take an email address or something from parents to send shots like this? I've done that on occasion - a lovely surprise gift for parents. By the way, the light/shadow composition in this is really nice.
Oh how clever you are to have spotted this little man, he's so gorgeous!
I bet he thinks he's in Fairyland.
Hugs Jane
Wonderful candid, very beautiful.
He is just precious and sweet. Love waking to your beautiful and thoughtful photos, merci.
Brittany,
I thought so too!
Wong,
Merci
Jean,
How nice of you to leave a comment. I am thrilled your enjoy my photographs of Paris. I love sharing them.
la fourchette,
In France I don't really try. It's that language "thang" you know! HA
Janey,
Thanks!!
Half-Heard,
The carrousel was so magical in the dark with the lights, I thought I was as well!
Adorable, V! Navigating those steep steps must feel like coming down from Everest to him. Is this a double-decker carrousel?
What a priceless image, Virginia. I LOVE carousels, so this is delightful, like looking through the eyes of a child.
We're so under-privileged in South Florida. I had never seen a 'double-decker' merry-go-round until Paris.
This photo is just magical! I bet this boy's mother would love this shot.
I've been so busy this week, I've just now scrolled through your week of photos. I just love it when I see a scene and know exactly where it is. It puts a smile on my face.
I hope you too were able to get up on horseback and take a ride around in the cool Paris winter air ? Very invigorating, no doubt...
Very cute!!! Love the lighted staircase!
wv: this photo should be on the "alists" of blog photos!!!
