My friend Genie, at Paris and Beyond,( double dog) dared me to run this photo. I debated and then decided that you all depend on me to bring you a slice of Paris each and every day and this certainly is! I tossed around the idea of letting you write your own title but thought better of it! I know you'll want to know if the glacé lived up to its name, but alas, the shop was closed. Quelle dommage. Perhaps I can get a dear Paris friend to ship me a case of it! :)

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.

There's a restaurant in Tours called "Mangez Moi." Makes me chuckle every time I see it...
You did it! I think part of our love for Paris is in finding surprises like this. You captured it beautifully in b/w and no names please - hah!
I owe you a dozen macarons chez moi!
Bisous,
G
Great capture ,very funny pic I like it sooooooo much
The glace was that good?
D'accord -- only in Paris!
Hot, hot!!! He is famous?
Hmmmmmm...definitely food for thought!!!
Very cheeky! I'm not surprised to learn that you're a girl who will take a dare. ;~}
:-)
Anyhow, I'm against all kind of censorship!
I could of course ship you a case, but I'm afraid the orgasm will get lost on the way! Better taste it here! :-)
Peter,
Well now..... I'm blushing! HA
WCS,
That is too funny. Thanks for sharing.
Rob,
I know how you love good glacé and gelato.
Genie,
You started this and I do believe Peter finished it. :)
Well, I've kept quiet all day waiting for everyone else's comment first. So I might as well put in my two cents worth now. Nobody ever said Virginia was shy and she did blow (no pun intended) Genie's cover. Also I figured all the women would comment openly because they think the licker in the picture is cute and would most likely love to rob that cradle. Peter, I totally agree with you. Genie, I don't think this will be over for some time to come. Virginia, maybe you should start a 3rd blog...MEMBERS ONLY.
Sometimes a banana is just a banana. Besides, this licker looks a little too manic for my taste.
Ha ha ha!!
Manic licker. Oh, those wacky French.
And you'll be over there in a flash to take Peter up on his generous offer.....?
jb - betcha she will! :-)
Of course you had to post this image. What sort of world would it be if you could't? They run it, you see it, you share it. Easy!
Like Peter I'm against censorship.
Well leave it to Bill D, to throw some gasoline on the fire!!
jb,
Would that be an offer I can't refuse???
Nathalie,
Bien sûr! :)
Petrea,
Well I hadn't thought of it that way!
Interesting choice of names for the place.
What a pity that the shop was closed! You will have to return there the next time...!
Love the shot. We are so used to no censorship in France that this would be normal and we'd not even consider not posting. Of course you should show it - it's Paris. I'm assuming from your comment and some of the reactions that you'd not see an advertisement like this in America?
I want some! :)
I have to try one of these, LOOOL
This just goes to show what a little minx our Virginia is!
Dinah
Perhaps our Peter is more of a MINX than I could hope to be! HA
Sergio
You and I both need to try one of these! LOL~
