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.

Oh yes, I know these two... They were waiting on "you" in your favorite place in Paris. I wish we were there right now (again)!
Bises,

Place des Vosges?
Not a profession I'd get along well with...
God bless you!

Oui, Place des Vosges. Those waiters have been there for quite a while as I've photos from several trips. The waiter on the right was very friendly and took very good care of me when I dined alone. The one on the left a bit of a grump!
Perfect!
Super! I like them when they try to attract tourists with all methods possible.
Oh, I recognize these guys! The waiters at Ma Bourgogne flirted outrageously with my daughters when we were there last month. Oh, wait—the waiters everywhere did that! :~}
(Hope the tornadoes left you and yours alone, V.)
Just now catching up with the news from the southern US... hoping you and your close ones are all ok. The images are terrifying...
Thinking warm thoughts in your direction.
Lovely. I read that you are currently taking french? Are you taking classes or over the internet?
I used to take french immersion but we moved in grade 8. I do have that background though and I am trying to get some of my lost french back.

In all the times we've been to Paris, I've only had one bad waiter, and even he warmed up after a short while.
It looks like a prototypical Parisian restaurant scene. I have been reading bad stories about fierce storms coming through Birmingham. Hope you are OK.
I wonder if they get good tips?
Great photo!
We always arrive at restaurants too early... And so this is a familiar and lovely sight! Thank you!
I love it! :)
