I thought we'd have little challenge today, although I'm sure my sharp readers won't miss a beat. We'll give it a go anyway. Do you know WHERE I was when I shot this??

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.

Eglise de la Madeleine?
You've got me stumped on this one Virginia - and I thought I knew Paris pretty well - I'm thinking! thinking!
Can´t be La Madeleine, right? Where´s the Obelisk?
In front of the Pantheon?--- Veronique
Sur le perron de l'Elysée ?
Une bien belle photo...
Gros bisous
The Pantheon on Rue Soufflot? I'm sure of it! Am I right?
Gorgeous shot, I love seeing the Eiffel Tower peaking out.
I don't know where you were but it's a beautiful shoot!
Veronique got it right! It is from the front of the Pantheon looking west across Jardin du Luxembourg to la Tour. I love how you have framed the scene with the flags and column.
LA MAGDALENE!!!!!!!!!!! Anita
What Genie said Virginia, she knows Paris and I think I kind of remember that view from there. I so love the way you can see the Eiffel Tower from so many, many different spots around Paris. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
I recognized it right away but I'm in the wrong time zone. Besides, I didn't see any mention of a prize for the correct answer.
I stayed just down the road, next to La Sorbonne on one trip.
I 'd say Madeleine, but i'm not sure.
You have given us another great photo. Love everything about it, including the title.
Wayne, the prize would be the personal satisfaction ma chèr! :)
Keep the guesses coming in. I'll announce the winner on tomorrow's blog. I'm sure many of you will set your alarms so you can wake up at 12:01 am CDT! :)

Love the shot.......my initial guess was the Pantheon.
The Pantheon on Rue Soufflot for sure.
