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.

Wine and a baguette in the basket would have completed the picture ;-)
All you are missing is a cafe table and chair, otherwise, I agree, great shot. Definitely Paris. Bon weekend! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Such a romantic picture!It's very Paris! :)
Léia
Ah, oui—you got it in one!
lovely view.
Absolutely Virginia, shabby chic, les bicycles and all in B&W..parfait! I bet that door was either blue or red!!
just love ...; that simple
Anon,
I'd prefer a bottle of champagne with that baguette! :)
Perth,
Yes it was BLEU!
Belgium, your husband is probably not all that happy today after our ballgame yesterday. Quelle dommage!!!
Veronique, yes it is missing a few details, you are so right.
Léla, Merci!
Alexa, I knew you would love it. I think we think alike.
Yes, I am betting that the door was bleu. Best in b/w though!
OUI! Oh how Paris is such an iconic place of such simple beauty, and you capture the spirit of it sweet Virginie! THANK YOU for liking la petite et son chien!!! BON DIMANCHE! Anita
Très belle photo avec une certaine atmosphère. I live in Waterloo/Brussels !
les vélos
Door . . . bicycle . . . where is the wine glass?
Starman, my editor, is always on the ball and I need that. He's right, there are deux vélos!

J'aime bien les velos et la porte!
N'oubliez pas que demain est la "portes de lundi" meme!
How many photos do you think you take in Paris per visit? I thought I was tragic, but you m'dear are tragiquer!!
Hi Virginia
Sorry I haven't popped in earlier. as you know i was busy.. in Italy and France. hehe
Well.. I'm enjoying your shots.. I took some quite similar ones around the Eiffel Tower. and know exactly what you mean by the annoying hawkers.. One I pointed my finger at and said "don't think about it!!' hehe it worked.. but mostly I did what you said and pointed my camera at them.. especially those that kept lingering behind me.. got rid of them quick smart!!
Thanks for popping in.. hope to see you again.. ciao xxx Julie
OH.. and too bad I am not there in Oct for your class!!
Aah so nice!
Pour moi qui suis Parisienne, c'est cela Paris ! Bravo, bien vu Virginia!
