Window shopping in Paris is one of my favorite pastimes , but during the holiday season it's even more spectacular. Even the smallest shops, like this on in Galerie Vivienne, is a delight. My friends Mary and Mary couldn't resist.

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.

Un petit plaisir qui ne coûte rien.
"Lèche-vitrine:" A favorite French expression of mine! Makes even more sense if you are standing in front of a pâtisserie. ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
It's a beautiful sight. I'd be lost for ages looking in windows such as these.
Beautiful lyrics, Christmas is endearing,
Very beautiful pictures,
I wish peace and happiness these days,
Happy Holidays!.
a hug.
Much time wasting has been known to happen as I stand transfixed at this spectacular time of year in Paris!!!
Virginia have a wonderful wonderful Christmas with family and friends and lets hope we can catch up in Jan if schedules permit.

That is an amazing window. I took a photo of it when it wasn't Christmas. Magical!
That why I love Xmas, people make cities ,and therefore, life, more beautyful and magyc!
Really beautiful Christmas image Virginia, how I would love to be in Paris at Christmas!
I see Mary!!! Lovely photo ..
Astrid was a window dresser in her day, Virginia, so when we went to the Christmas market in Düsseldorf a week ago, she just HAD to see the windows on Königsallee, the big shopping street. Very festive, indeed!
Des lumières plein les yeux... En cette période de l'année les vitrines sont tellement féeriques... Une part de rêve dans chacune d'elles... Et du rêve aussi grâce à votre photo ma chère Virginie.
Gros bisous
Oh your making me feel all goosey Virginia!!!
What an art and they do it so well in Paris at Christmas.
I love the flower shops most of all, and especially the fragrance and displays that invite one to step inside out of the cold - sheer magic!
Joyeux Noel to you and your family Virginia at this most wonderful of all seasons.

Une photo spectaculaire!
Paris Through My Lens. Check. Virginia's picture and profile. Check.
Yes, Virginia, this is a wonderful time of the year for window shopping. Some people even go inside and buy stuff, I have heard! Your photo today is, as always, well done.
Happy holidays, VIRGINIA.
In memory of George Whitman, owner of SHAKESPEARE & CO. He will be missed. Passed away at a young, 98!
Dream behind the glass. How beautiful and promising. Irresistible indeed.
Wonderful photography - again!
"My friends Mary and Mary" This so reminded me of the Bob Newhart Show (maybe before your time) in which one of the characters introduced his brothers as "this is y brother Darrel and this is my other brother, Darrel".
An engaging image. You are inspiring me to get out my camera again. I hope Mary and Mary didn't spend an absurd amount here!
Bisous
