For those of you that have visited Paris a few times, I'm sure you know exactly where this is. Oui! Place des Vosges in the Marais. I spent a lot of time right here last summer as my little flat was just a few blocks away. There was usually a street musician playing. This day the harpist.

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.

This is beautiful, in black and white and framed by the arch. A harp seems very much at home there.
Virginia, what i love is when you have stayed somewhere like this and it somehow becomes your place. - Can't wait till this happens --4 weeks till Paris actually 3 weeks and 6 days! x
I love this place
Clever framing of the beautiful Paris streets !
Virginia,

Somehow this photo makes me wish I were a college exchange student in Paris! Lovely photo! Maybe one of our 3 daughters will study there someday....
The Place des Vosges is also one of my favourite spots in Paris! Breakfast at "Ma Bourgogne" is a must-do for every stay in Paris.
Love the black and white and the shoot!
Megi , Google translator est mon ami aussi! :)
Vreni, I"ve not had breakfast at Ma Bourgogne, but many glasses of wine and a meal!:)
Leif,
You must start brainwashing those daughters now! :)
Bill,
Merci!
Shell, I'm glad you like it.
Wong, Thank you!
Italo, How kind of you.
Suzy, I am excited for you!!
Oh, Thank God. I saw the title and thought you were going to show us MacDonalds.
Lovely perspective
Your photos always make me wish I were in Paris!!!!
Hker, I laughed when I read your comment. Lord I hate those McArches!!!
Harriet, I wish I were there right this minute.
Daryl,
Thank you dear friend.
Nicely done, Virginia. One of these days I am going to rent a Parisian flat for a month or so . . .
