This day Mary and I met our Paris friends Lucy and Anne Hervier, at a charming cafe near rue Mouffetard. These friends dined near the window. I couldn't resist.
Hi Virginia, Saw your comment over on Facebook, mais non, mais non, of course we would miss you blog should Blogger ever do to you what it almost did to Peter, your exuberance about life in Paris is exceptional... I did use the export feature to export a backup of my blog, although now I'm wondering what is actually in the back up file, it was only 24 megabytes, I'm wondering if it saves comments and everything.
Will cross my fingers and hope my humble little blog never disappears, I feel like it is turning into my life story.
Oh my cher Owen, How dear you are. I only hope that my Paris blog is pleasing to my Parisian friends. It is the most fun I have everyday to go and select a special photo to share. THat said, if it disappears, then I start again, n'est-ce pas?? V
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.

Great atmosphere, great food, awesome friends!
Cozy, convivial—and perfectly composed. Wish every meal could be enjoyed in such surroundings. Thanks, V!

What a charming photo! Looks like something from Life Magazine ;)
I like this picture. It's very moody.
No one is safe from your camera! LOL One must be on one's best behavior at all times when you are out and about.

You always give me the seat in the house. I'm still waiting for my wine, however.
