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.

That looks num num Miss Virginia. Just like your posts!
I share with you a great love for Paris. I have family born and bred there.
I was very young when I went to Paris for the first with my mother. She had rented an apartment near the Boulevard Jourdan. Very early one morning we had to cacht a train for Luxemburg. It was still dark when we went by the Cite Universitaire. Suddenly I saw a beautiful, majestic building. Look at that palace! I said to my mother. It was the magnificent Fondation des Etats- Unis!
Mm, a slow waking up and that breakfast would do me very well!
Sorry,I don't speak English.
Thank you for the comment! nice photo! I like the cup-combination porzelain and metal.
ahhhhhhhh! la vie est belle indeed! (exciting news: just scored tickets back to Paris - less than 8 weeks to wait!)
Ah, I can taste it from here and soon will taste it from there! How can something so simple be so utterly delightful? location, location, location!
Nice shot, V, and I liked your Tardi add from yesterday, too.

Elizabeth, What fabulous news! I'm so happy for you.
Genie,
Yes, you will be drinking out of those very cups in just a few weeks. Waaaaaaa
Maria,
Thank you for stopping by my blog and I love your story about Paris. Isn't it just the place wonderful memories are made.
Megi,
You do very well. I use Google translator here a LOT!
Jenny,
Slow waking up for us was lying in bed hearing the church bells each morning, then this lovely breakfast.
Last March I had cafe creme and pain au chocolat for breakfast everyday so you have brought back such special memories. The weather was brutal this time last year so cafe breaks helped revitalize us. Thanks for capturing this moment perfectly!
That's my idea of the perfect breakfast while in Paris! As Genie said "Location, location, location!"
Le big sigh. Breakfast as sheer perfection. For what it is—and even more for where! I see you were just getting to the "good" part in that croissant, so I admire your discipline in putting down the pastry and picking up the camera. :~}
Good observation Alexa! And I love the subtle references to Janeen's exquisite taste...the dishes, the rug, the chair...it's a magical place!
When will Americans learn how to do breakfast?
Yummmmm!!!
Good thing I just finished breakfast.
Oh the perfect breakfast!! Yum!
Such a delightful photo of my favorite Parisian petit dejeuner. Amazing how something so simple can make life so beautiful!
I had a special treat this afternoon. Dunkin Donuts was giving away free donuts on the corner of Broadway and McClintock in Tempe, AZ, and I had a strawberry filled donut.! Delicious! This reminded me of it! Merci!
Pain au chocolat is my favourite viennoiserie for breakfast!
Looks like my usual breakfast in Paris. :)
Mmmm. :) All I see is "chocolat"
mmm, delicious!
