Since I was behind her ( on rue Mouffetard) I was able to focus on the shop up the way, without disturbing Madame and her friend at Café Mouffetard.

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.

Ah, zeze French women, always smoking, smoking... Tssss... Great shot, V.PS: Did you see the Artist? If not, you will have to, after tonight's Oscars. Cocorico! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Beautiful street photo. Love the terrasses in the streets even in the dark.
I adore this photo! It captures a moment in Paris so perfectly.
This picture makes me think of a french movie from the 60ies..I like the mood here!
A great seat in the evening, I don't mind with a cuppa ...
You've transported me, V. I feel like I'm sitting with you admiring this view.
I agree with Malyss. It has that vintage look....Janey
C'est formidable, V de B! Captures the sense of Paris par nuit!
Bonne journee'!
Great capture. Rue de l'Arbaléte makes me think of L'Isola -- the restaurant where we have dined on several occasions thanks to you!
Une couleur qui donne un petit air mal famé.
This picture is soooo Paris!
Léia :)
Like the drama of this image. The cigarette, a hand, red, lateness, empty street....
Natalie
Oh and Harriet, we headed to L'Isola this last trip and it's closed! Quelle dommage. ;(
V
Love this shot... the smoke, the rouge, the evening...
LOVE the angle ... the WV not so much ... I turned mine off .. too irritating
Great shot. I am really trying to improve my nighttime photography.
Une belle ambiance d'un soir à la Mouffetard, j'adore

A true Paris photo...even the woman smoking!
I get huge spam. Alot of blogs have put the word verification back on.
Yes, like Malyss said, a French movie from the '60s. Actually, it reminds me of my Parisian life in the '60s (insert very large sigh here)—you captured the atmosphere perfectly, V! BTW, I turned off my WV. Does Blogger not know they're making us nuts?
ohhhh...the light in this shot is lovely.
The mood is wonderful...that lady should be called Collette!
Beautiful scene, Virginia, I like it o lot.
This is a beautiful shot and so quint essential Paris, when I think of paris, red and out door cafe come to mind not sure why but it does. I will have my annual trip to Paris in April I can't wait ... beautiful shot Virginia.

I love the dog's ears poking up above the table... what a precious shot!
