"Let's stop here!" I say that a lot in Paris, followed by, " I'm tired and I think I need a glass of wine."

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.

gros bisous
That's the thing to do in Paris - sitting and sipping and taking in the magic of the place.
Wishing you all the the best for 2012 Virginia - I will hopefully be taking another trip to la belle France early in the year!
Haha sounds good to me! And what a lovely place to stop
This looks quite inviting and a great place to meet with friends for a glass of wine!
Ah so many inviting places just calling out to be explored Virginia, thank goodness you take a photo each time so that we can share with you. Davis and Eva did a marvelous job with your header page. btw what a great write up in Living France Magazine, congratulations.
A charming place to sit and sip
Congrats on your write-up in Living France, V (well-deserved, of course)! I would so love to "do" Paris with you: walk, snap snap snap, raise a glass—and repeat!
"......And I think I need a glass of wine" - is that so wrong?
Lovely feeling of Paris in this foto, V de B!
Love the new blog header Virginia! Another lovely shot from you! Thank you for stopping by chez French Girl yesterday. I am happy you enjoyed reading about the great Abbé Pierre. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I like your style Virg!!!
Can't see the name and don't recognize it.
It's after noon here, so maybe I'll go grab a glass of wine and read this post again! Then I can pretend I am in Paris. :O)
Pretty classic, Virginia.
I hope you haven't lost this good habit! :-)
Alors à bientôt au rendez-vous des Amis !
So inviting! Reminds me that life holds so many simple pleasures.
perfect thing to say in paris :)
