For me, the Hôtel de Ville is stunning, jour et nuit, hiver ou d'été.

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.

Such a beauty on the street !
I totally agree, V! The Hotel de Ville is one of the most underestimated buildings in the city.
Ce n'est pas mon monument préféré, mais il fait partie du paysage.
The way you pictured it gives a gothic mood to the building!

The night lights look lovely, V! And a beautiful angle. So much gorgeousness.
This shot captures so many tiny surprises of light on various surfaces that I feel pulled in to discover where the light is falling - like a "Where's Waldo?" puzzle! Lovely.
J'aime beaucoup...

Light, in both nature and in the city, is always magic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anita
It is beautiful in all seasons! Last week it was draped for Armistice Day, and by now it will be ready with its holiday lights... always a stunning sight.
For me, it's stunning in the spring and autumn!
Fab foto, V de B!
Love this light theme on the two blogs!
I agree Virginia,the Hotel de Ville is such a great looking building and the history is fabulous. Have been thoroughly enjoying all your images that I've missed since being in Sydney and am delighted to have a name for what I'll be doing this weekend...pollarding, excellent!!
This angle is awesome!
Bravo, c'est une photo très réussite!
Léia
This shot is so Frenchy..........Did you have to lie on your back to get it?
Warm regards.
Love that building! One of my favorite little places for a bite is just across the river with a view of the Hotel. Best when the sun goes down and the lights go up!
Lovely!
You're right—it's a gorgeous building. But even more so here as a backdrop for these spectacular streetlights. Beautiful, V!
Love the lamp posts In Paris.
Et maintenant, you write also en français! :-)
Peter Olson..."write also en français"....I know you did not say that with a straight face! :)
I think the Hôtel de Ville is a beautiful landmark in Paris and I'm gals so many of you agree. This was taken last January while the whole place was decorated to the hilt with a skating rink and carrousel. Magnifique!
This is more a painting than a photograph, Virginia. Superb!
What beautiful images of Paris shared here! I've enjoyed looking back over the last few posts and seeing so many pretty photos :)
I agree. It's a stunning place and this is a stunning shot! Great music Virginia!
It is beautiful..
Every day of the year, every time of the day.
Like all Paris.
