Thanks to the well dressed patrons, this photograph could have been snapped decades ago.

About Me

- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.

Love it! This photo would have looked great at the top of my recent story about Parisian cafés! Veronique
I love that people want so much to sit outside at a Paris Cafe that they'll wrap up in winter coats and scarves to do it.
Le temps s'est peut-être arrêté dans la rue vieille du temple.
Nice one! :)
Except from the girl's hair (in older times, women did not let hair free) and the moto in the back right.Otherwise, yes, a great out of time picture of "the philosophes"!
love this one
It is stunning, as ANY snapshot of that fab city can be1!!! ANITA
Virginia, thisnis great in B&W! Overcoats certainly are timeless!
Ah to sit in a cafe' in Paris and watch the world go by....
Very philosophical, indeed. But then again, isn't everything in Black & White?
this photo is pure Paris
Bravissimo!
It reminds me Robert Doisneau!Congratulations!
Léia
The timelessness is more due to the lack of color than the patrons.
I love this cafe....and such a classic shot too Virginia....Timeless, indeed...xv
Ah! Paris is timeless - I would have to stop for a cafe creme - right there on the corner with my chair facing out!!
Looks like you've been having entirely too much fun. Café hopping, crunching a macaron or two, sipping champagne... only in Paris !
You're right, Virginia. I don't see anything in this picture that gives it away.
Une très belle ambiance parisienne...
gros bisous
Fabulous...could be a Brassai shot!
xx
My first thoughts were timeless and classic and that was before I saw the title. Excellent shot!
Ah, you're at your lady shutterbug best when photographing Cafe''s! I could eazily fit into this pic!
Yes it looks like a scene from the "Resistance" era of the WW-II
This puts me in a true autumn mood... love it!
Oh, Virginia, I've just an hour or so looking at your beautiful blog and soaking it all in! All your photos are brilliant. This one is outstanding! This photo sums up Paris for me, - it is timeless - could be Hemingway's Paris! Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment on my blog BTW - greatly appreciated! I don't know if you read the part about me living in France but I lived in Paris for a few years and like you left a small piece of my heart there when I moved back to Ireland. Your photos brought so many memories rushing back, it's been a lovely trip down memory lane! thank you, adding you to my blog roll so I don't miss any more! Sharon
