My last day in Paris, this past January, Peter ( Peter's Paris blog) gently nudged me to take a deep breath and ride the grande roue at Tuileries. I'm so glad I did. I got some great photos from high above Paris...after I opened my eyes! Where else could I have had this wonderful view of the city j'adore? Peter captured some as well, as you can see.

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.

Nice to see fellow bloggers in action !
Vue magistrale !
Good for Peter! This looks like something I'll have to do.
So lovely portrait, great picture!
We wish a happy Birthday to Peter, lots of love to his heart!
And a happy Easter to you and your family!
Léia
I love the tiny little buildings behind Peter. You two are lucky to discover Paris together. I love hearing about bloggers' adventures together..
Virginia, you are indeed brave but I bet the rewards were many. Do they leave this up year round?
This may be the only way I'll see these views. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to the grande rue.
Love the color of the sky in your banner photo!
Jeanne, I believe they put it up around Nov. and take it down the end of Jan.
Harriet, I was a bit of a scaredy cat till I saw the city below and had to get that camera working!
Cezar and Leila, I hope you both have a wonderful Easter as well.
Brittany,
It is fun to meet fellow bloggers. Peter has been a great friend to have in Paris. He knows the city and its history better than anyone.
Belgium, We see a lot of Paris !
Maya, Oh I can see you and J on that thing. You'd love it.
I am not a fan of heights but if you can do it, I can too .. one day
I braved the Eye in London...I think I'd brave the grande roue if there again!!!!
Happy Birthday Peter!!!
Nice portrait, Virginia. Me? I think I will keep my feet on the ground, thank you.
Wonderful portrait of Peter! Like Harriet, I'm a wuss when it comes to the big wheel—but I wish it had been up when I was there 'cause I would have done it for the photo op. Bet you got lots of great shots!
Happy birthday to Peter!
You were very brave to do this V
I am terrified of heights!!
Great shot of a nice guy -- bon anniversaire, Peter!
Love the shot of l'Assemblée Nationale et les Invalides in the background.
I find this post a bit late. Sorry! As you said, we will have to wait until next winter to be able to make the same sky trip!
... and sincere thanks for the happy-birthday-wishes I can read here! :-)
