As we made our way down from Montmartre that afternoon, we gasped at this spectacular view. The dome of les Invalides sparkles in the distance. I love the rooftops and chimney pots!

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.

stunning. Nice blog. I'll be back.
I love the area of montmarte and how you can see over all of Paris. Fantastic shot V! One of my favourites.
I'd hike back up there with you any day! :-)
The view is an exquisite slice of Paris from the detail of the near-view of window-boxes to the distant Invalides... stunning, V.

Quintessentially Paris!
That was a spectacular day...this shot is parfait!
Isn't it amazing that such a huge city can be so walkable when you are there on the ground!
Stunning! I love this view! Wow it's so Paris!
That's a great shot. There are some really great views from Montmartre. Sadly, for me, I can't trek those hills anymore. Well, what I can do is take the métro or a bus to the top and walk down.
Wow—this one's a beauty! And your eye kind of stops at the dome of Invalides, so you don't really notice the newer buildings beyond. It's a classic, V.
I had never really explored Montmartre (can you believe it??) until last September. And now, of course, can't wait to be back in that spot...
I love the chimney pots too!
Oh, I want to live in that grey shack, the one just below the chimney pots.
Oh I love it when my dear friends stop by and chat about my photo. I think we all agree that the walk down from Montmartre is just the most wonderful view of Paris. It is often a struggle up for me, but this day it was a delight to see this wonderful sight as we walked DOWN! :) Thank you all for joining me.

Wonderful!!!!
