have I never grabbed my friends (ou peut-être mes amis grabbed moi) and marched into Café Marly and enjoyed a nice drink while watching the sunset on la Pyramide??? Je ne sais pas. Je suis triste.

About Me

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.

Je pense qu'il est parce que tu es dans l'amour avec Café Nemours...
It's because you must keep new things to do for your next trip to Paris! :o)
I am sure you will fix that one day Virginia.
Why do I not believe that?
Sounds like a plan. I seem to end up in the food court below, which makes me feel like I am in any mall in the USA.
Peut-être parce qu'il est un peu chère? Genie and I were thrille to just walk through it and photograph it's interior!
Maybe next time, something to look out for.
Better late zan never, non, V de B!
Bonne journee
Because you are waiting for me to be there!
I love all of your ideas. :)
V
I love the view of the Louvre courtyard from the inner rooms!
Maybe next time.
Don't be sad, Paris is forever!
Sounds like some kind of "invitation"! :-)
I was there only once - inside in the winter - and was then slightly disappointed by the service, but things may have changed since then. Worth a new try! - in good company! :-)
You need a little reason or excuse to go back !!!
I met a friend at Café Marly 2 years ago, we wanted to just have a drink, but it was noon and as we didn´t want to have lunch the waiter told us that we had to leave....
I never have either, V. For some reason, Café Marly intimidates me.
Peter, I have an idea. I'll do the inviting and you can buy the champagne! :)
Alexa,
moi aussi!
What an excellent compromise, V! :-)
Funny that you say that. I was just thinking how bipolar Paris is.
It is the most beautiful city and the things we think of from it are always ...
so melancholy and to a point sad.
watching the sun set pondering about life...
and yet we love it so much.
now that you realize you haven't done it go do it!
