The dancers on rue Mouffetard each Sunday have provided me with endless pleasure and many photographs. You met this lady and gentleman here. Today, they dance for you.

- 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.
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.

Ils sont très mignons, tes amis, Virginia. Madame est très focused! ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Voulez vous dancez avec moi,,?
Costas
I'm always surprised to see that they're usually not very young,But their passion for dance keep them young.
I LOVE IT. These two are most definitely SO PARISIAN...look at her, she is quite older, but chic forever. Ah...les français! Anita
They look like they were born to dance! The lady looks so graceful!
Très belle capture!
La dame ne veut pas faire un faux pas, elle semble très concentrée!

Belle journée et à bientôt****
Lovely picture of a couple 'of a certain age' still dancing and enjoying themselves.
Love her face expression, so well captured!
This picture is wonderful!

Hi ! I went to rue Mouffetard for the very first time not so long ago and loved the Sunday market atmosphere. You captured that feeling in a very awesome manner
I love this photograph! It is always a pleasure to see your photos each day! Thanks so much!
Beautiful! I think we should all go dancing once a week
Love this shot .. love her concentration and poise .. and he's got his moves down doesnt he
Quintessential Paree! Isn't it wonderful how people in the City of Light seem so much freer and more able to express themselves than people in Memphis or Ocala?
Nice, Virginia, This is an absorbing pairing of two people I wouldn't see as being together.
I can almost hear the music.
I just love your shots of the rue Mouffetard dancers. This one seems fitting in b&w—she almost looks like she could be from another time. Très sympa, V!
Hi Virginia,
Love the black and white photograph of the dancers.
What it tells me is no matter what age you are, you can do anything and enjoy life.
Happy week
hugs
Carolyn
Costas, I'd love to but I'm afraid we'll be called a pair "of a certain age" and everyone will marvel that we can still hobble around! HA
I'm glad you all enjoyed this couple as much as I did. In looking back over my photos from different trips, I believe I"ve photographed them with other partners. It's seems to be a group of faithfuls that gather each week with others that join in. They dance with each other and anyone brave enough to put down their camera and try it. Don't worry, I stayed firmly on the curb snapping away. I know my place!
Obviously very dedicated and focused on their craft...
I suspect each of the dancers delight in the attention. They were a disappointment the one only time I remembered to get myself down there on a Sunday afternoon. I shall be much closer next May, so shall try to get there more often. A glass of vin always helps my 'eye' unwind, too.
Excellent photo! I'd love to watch this myself.
Scatto molto simpatico.
Un saluto
Mauro
