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 photo of these old shutters. I hope that they are repaired soon, so that they do not become a thing of the past.
ADorable composition, the window also reminds me something about Italy! :)
You are an artist!
By the way about your comment: I think you are right about the Church in Troyes.In fact the Church was closed at the first time ( during the morning ), and we went back later in the afternoon. Thanks so much for your always kind comments! :)

I LOVE this shot ... LOVE that window .. LOVE LOVE LOVE that blue
Shabby chic shown at it's best.
Just perfect!
I like the "blue' topic very much.
In Paris, unpainted shutters look cool.
In Brussels unpainted woodwork looks like neglect..
Scatto molto affascinante
The tattered shutters do work well in Paris. I do not quite go with this level of shabbiness but I LOVE this shot!
Lovely, it captured me.
I love the shutters with the touch of color. Nice photo.

Love it, V! I'll call this shabby chic too (though that might be a bit self-serving considering how badly my apartment is in need of painting). :~}
CHARMINGLY DECREPIT. MUST BE PARIS
JB, who are you calling "charmingly decrepit!"??? LOL
Unpainted wood work looks like neglect no matter where it is found, and these are rather sad.
Old paint and shutters! Two of my favorites combined in a lovely picture.
OK, we have been charmed by the poor neglected shutters. Now it is time to go to work with a steel brush and some paint.
Thank you everyone. I'm well aware that this place could use a little spiffing up. I guess the bleu window and curtains was a draw for me. :)
V
Very nice catch here--thanks!
Gorgeous! There's one of my favourite numbers again, V. And I feel I'm hopelessly behind schedule on my shutter-weathering. Better hop to it.
Such an artsy, historic view of that old window - love it!
Tres charmant!
what's a little peeling paint when it photographs so charmingly???
Oh, I love these shabby shutters and the wrought iron in front of the window. I even love the curtains.
Amazing photo!
J'aime beaucoup photos de fenêtres!
