One of my favorite stores in Paris. Merciin the Marais, has an extensive collection of colorful letters made from metal, wood, whatever suits you. I'm always anxious to see another creative way they have used them on the big wall.
Very clever, V! I wonder what the guy on the left just said that his friends are finding so funny. (I'm playing catch-up here—your shot yesterday was magnifique!)
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.
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.

Good urban photo, fine details and light.
Alain, peut-être FANTASTIQUE? :) It would be fun for all of us to finish the alphabet one day n'est-ce pas? Maybe I'll try that.

Ohh~ I'd be tempted to sneak those into my suitcase!
Great photo V. I keep hearing about that store but have not visited it yet. La prochaine fois... Bonne semaine! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

Simply beautiful, lovely and charming, Virginia!
Happy Valentine's Day filled with 'amour'!

That V doesn't look anywhere near good enough to do you justice, Virginia. You need an oversized script V.
That is a very cool photo! I love typography.
How did I miss this place when staying in the Marais?
Another reason to return to Paris! Warm regards
