I adore the way Galeries Layfayette drapes herself in these fabulous lights every Christmas. For me it's the Paris show stopper of the season!

About Me
- Virginia
- 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.

Once again we think alike. My first thought was magnifique!
Je suis éblouie... gros bisous
Un décor de mille et une nuits.
Magnifique indeed!
I agree with Alain.
I usually don't like masses of lights used as decoration, but this is breathtakingly beautiful.
Seasons greetings.

It certainly would generate a bit of warmth. Are you going to family on Sunday or are they coming to you?
Do you remember that song saying: "Ahlalala, c'est magnifique..".
How fabulous would it be to go for a stroll, turn the corner and be confronted with this light extravaganza.
Magnifique does the job well. This is beautiful, V.
I think "show stopper" is an understatement!!!
Oh, my ... magnifique and absolutely gorgeous!!! This is a perfect example of when "over the top" is really "just right"! Love it, Virginia!
Just fabulous, takes my breath away..Merry Christmas.

What everyone has said above and more Virginia. I wish you a very happy Christmas, take care and keep safe.
What a glorious image!

I'm looking forward to being your virtual companion in your creative journeys along with all your blogging friends.
May all your dreams come true, especially the most daring ones.
Merry Christmas and fulfilling Happy New Year !

This makes me wish I'd gone back there at night! Lovely shot!
It really is quite beautiful and exotic, but it's not reminiscent of Christmas. Every time I see it (and it has been there for years) I think of India or the Orient, not Christmas.
Beautiful image, Madame!
Thank you for this wonderful blog of yours.
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful Virginia! Someday I will have to go at Christmastime....
All the best to you and your family for the holiday!
