Little boys and water. These handy green fountains, found in all of the parks in Paris are a kid magnet. This petit garçon was spotted at the Palais Royal bien sûr !

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.

Adorable. And of course more Paris Rouge.
That was so much fun for you...I love the bicycle...and he is so seriously going after that cool water...fantastic....great shot!
Cute shot, Virginia. This is a city kid: His mom has obviously taught him to keep his tricycle nearby. Things can disappear pretty quickly in Paris! ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
So sweet :-) The little boy's colourful jacket makes a great contrast too with his surroundings...
Very cute capture, V de B!
An internal wholesaler called me yesterday and I gave her your B'ham CDP blog link as she's originally from your city!
Bon weekend
I love watching children. Seems to me...Like any other male..He is about to clean his wheels!
What a wonderful picture. He seems so totally absorbed in the water.
And a red tricycle, too! Totally adorable!
and he and his red bike are adorable
Well spotted and captured Virginia, he certainly is absorbed in his watery activity! Red and orange make for a very vibrant splash of colour!
And he has enough understanding to stand back so as to not get his feet wet.
You find all the cute Frenchmen, V—old and young.
Thank heavens for little boys ......... I find that grown up boys are no different - they love to tinker.
P.S. Apologies for not visiting sooner - I've been away from the blogsphere.
This photo really pops against the black background of your blog. Well done!
You discovered - another - good thing about Paris; fresh water to be found all over the place. More welcome a sunny summer day than these cold winter days! :-)
Oh, I haven't spent nearly enough time in your Paris lens. These are wonderful.
What a great shot, Virginia. I am going to put this in the rouge column, though the jacket would be called orange by a less generous man.
Great action shot that says much. I am going with "Auburn fan" hehehe
