I just love to find unexpected photos like this one. The baker cleans up after hours at one of Paris' most famous boulangeries, Paul .

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.

Wonderful capture! Thank you for bringing us into this slice of life.
You are always discovering nice scenes! Btw, I love les boulangeries Paul! My most favourite is in Rue Montorgueil where you can eat outside and wacht the people in the street.
This is terrific. Serendipity works almost every time!
nicely spotted but do you really think its the baker himself sweeping up?
Wonderful capture Virginia!!! Love it!
Well done, V! And thanks for this little glimpse into after-hours Paris. His whites still look perfectly clean at the end of the day—but they're probably covered with flour. :~}
Great photo Virginia!
First tried Paul at the shopping mall in La Défense and liked it very much.
So well seen. There are branches of 'Paul' in London too. Pastries to die for!
