Reminds me of the Layfayette Maison building on the Bd Haussmann, across the street from the Galeries Lafayette. It's a beautiful building at Christmas, and it too is very red at night!
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.

C'est juste pour toi, j'avais demandé à Delanoé de faire le nécessaire.
Especially for you, of course! They know how much you love red!(I told them..)
Not only did the Hotel du Louvre get reddish for you...
Somebody told me that every time you visit Paris, there´s a new star shining in that beautiful city´s sky.
Impressive shot.
As said already: just pour toi! What colour would you like for your next visit? Blue?
A magnificent photo of the "Hotel de Virginie" in Paris!
C'est formidable, V de B!

SOOOOO beautiful ..
Beautiful image Virginia.
I don't remember ever seeing it in red, so it must be just for toi.
Always beautiful photos. And the perfect thing for your rouge collection.

I'm going with the consensus here: most definitely juste pour toi. And you're up to # 71? That's a lot of Paris and a lot of rouge, V!
What a great shot -- you bring out the best in people and buildings!
Hi Virginia,
What a great photograph and looks so warm and welcoming and I want to step on inside.
Happy week
Hugs
