Un petit trésor à Paris

Rarissime, fondee en 1658, translates to "extremely rare". Across the street from our flat last January, it is tucked under the Église Saint-Roch. Not much bigger than my walk-in closet, it buys and sells antiques, old linens, and all manner of interesting collectibles. Un trésor.

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.

Votre photo est un aussi beau trésor...
Gros bisous
Un magasin aussi ancien, c'est rarissime.
The bike shows how small the shop is!I'm wondering what they were selling in 1638...
I would love to see that beautiful little shop.
Costas
I remember that boutique! It's very charming indeed and you have really done it justice with this photograph.
I´m wondering which colour the portal has in reality... Paris Rouge? Bleu?
Oh how I love Paris....Anita
I talked to the owner one day. This shop was originally selling religious items, then for some 200 years a barber shop.
Oh how I would like to get in there!
I was talking about you again today!

Peter, I think I remember that you and Mary ventured in one night. Guess I was doing what I do...photographing you two! :) Thanks for that info!
Vreni, C'est brun.
A place so old, if it could talk I bet it could tell amazing stories
What you see from the windows is pretty much the whole shop... quite petite. It is hard to fathom all the history that has paraded past this old shop.
Vreni, it is a natural wood front and very rich against the stone walls of Église Saint-Roch.
An interesting location.
HI Virginia, I adore this photo. It looks like the shop is carved into the sandstone.. Hope you are well.. Carla xx
Wonderful in b&w, V. What fun it would be to poke around in this place! But apparently you don't want to show up with a crowd.
C'est avec beaucoup de plaisir que je passe ici, car je sais que je vais voir un regard rarissime aussi !
Cette image nous transporte dans une autre époque, bravo Virginia.

Salut V de B! What a little treasure chest! I bet it felt like a jewelry box inside!
I've probably already said I love photos of architecture. This one is wonderful!
amazing!
Very clever name for an antique shop! There must be interesting wares to see there.
God bless you!

Beautiful image - love it!

What a treasure. The shop and the photo.
That bike really is a nice touch. Wow, 1658!
