Trois Coeurs Pour Toi

In an effort to get this blog back on track, today we visit Cimetière de Passy. I must say that this small but beautiful place might just be my favorite cemetery in all of Paris. I think it might be overlooked by many visitors to Paris, but put it on your list. These stones, left by loved ones, touched my heart. As I looked over my photographs last night, this was a photo I honestly didn't remember taking. Another reason why I love sharing my photos each day with you.

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.

Drei Herzen für mich!!! Vielen Dank!
Ein großartiges Foto!
liebe Grüße
Awww, sweet!
BTW, I just finished putting up the Paris shots I took from our trip last year on my blog!
They're very lovely.
Sweet .. its a tradition in the Jewish faith to visit the cemetary and leave small stones atop the headstone of the person you visit .. to show you were there .. my mom always disliked that because she felt the headstone weighed down on them enough ... when we visit my parents grave I leave tiny metal hearts I buy at a card shop .. I think she wouldnt mind that as much ...
Oh my such a long list of notable people buried in that little cemetery. I shall put it on my list for my Fall visit...Thanks Virginia
What a sweet remembrance and I love this shot. I love the cemeteries but have not been to Passy yet...

Bittersweet and a lovely tradition. Thank you for sharing.
I was gonna mention about you finally getting this blog back on its tracks! You made this one look special.
We visited the tomb of Edouard Manet there. And of Berthe Morisot, of course...
I agree with you about Passy Cemetary, Virginia. Passy is also an awesome area to explore. This area was Ben Franklin's stomping ground where he lived and printed passports amongst other things. For some reason I can not get a good shot of his statue across the street from the cemetary.
Thanks Daryl for sharing the information about the stones. I did not know that.
Very touching! I love hearts too!
I remember Daryl commenting about this lovely Jewish practice. Now whenever I visit a cemetery, I always look for these special stones.
Very Touching.
Very sweet post, V. You have redeemed yourself, for sure (not that I think you needed to, of course). ;~}
Do you remember the end of the movie Schindler's List, when the actors (and in some cases the real people they portrayed) left stones on the gravestone of Oskar Schindler? Very touching.
Jeanne refreshed my memory about seeing a statue of Benjamin Franklin near the Trocadero. I had forgotten it until now. The hearts of stone are quite lovely!
You should have used this for Valentine's Day.
