This small cemetery behind the church was well cared for and we found some lovely monuments and crosses.

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.

ANYTHING in Paris is worth taking a second look at...and the older, the BETTER!!!
HEY THERE VIRGINIA! Anita
I like very much the statue behind the cross. very unusual..
The cross is exquisite and the statue of the young woman is truly beautiful. What a find! I love the play of shadows that is magnified in B&W.
Such an ornate, beautiful cross and lovely sculpture behind it!
J'aime le musique francais de ton blogg, V de B!
This has such a caught in the moment/preserved look, well done!
Beautiful cross and I love the life-like young woman with her hat and bouquet... perfect in monochrome.
Thanks for the cemetery photos! You know how much I love cemetery photos...
Beautiful cross! I like the hat on the statue and your music too...Janey
:)
Ah, this one is lovely too, V. I also like the jeune fille avec fleurs et chapeau. Hope you had a bon dimanche.
Wonderful Virginia, I adore both the cross and the statue.

Another great capture. And the music is an added bonus!
Hi Virginia
That's a beautiful cross and I love the statue behind it.. Sepia is the perfect colour for this atmosphere!!
Have a fabulous week.. ciao xxx Julie
Timeless image Virginia, both the cross and the statue belong in another era, the sepia captures that perfectly.
It's so beautiful! I'll stop by sometimes! :)
