I'm ringing # 6001 for my all-time dead-fave poet, François Villon. If only, and how cool is this?! (BTW, you should check out my blog post for today, V.)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
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.

Crumbs, what a tough choice, V. I'd be tempted by Raoul Dufy.
I have plenty of time. I think I will visit a few. I might start with Sisley.
Ooh, Peter took me a & Genie there and I love the clever way to maintain privacy! I would definitely ring 1005 and visit Monet :-)
Without at doubt...I'd start with Renoir!
Love your new banner photo V!!!
You are tempting us again! Ingres!
Oh, I would visit Van Gogh and ask him about his ear!
This was so clever and very upscale!
Bises,
Genie
I read about this place.
That certainly makes an impression !
Starman, enlighten us. I tried to Google it but couldn't find any info.
I see all of us have different choices. Wouldn't it be fun if we could have one big party!
I would ring the bell at Coco Chanel's appartment in Le Ritz! Yes Virginia one big party sounds like fun - count me in!

V - I would love to enlighten you but it was quite a while ago and I can't remember where I saw it.
Starman, you are forgiven !:)
