Belgium, we didn't stay here but passed it one day while strolling.
Peter, REALLY??? :(
Vreni, Suzi, Janey, Riet, Malyss, There's room for all of you. Vreni, you might have to bring more than one bottle. Peter you know what you're in charge of! :) V
Oh V, what an idyllic place you have found! I'm daydreaming of being in Paris for a long enough period that I would feel I had the time to while away sitting on such a balcony, perhaps with knitting needles in hand. When I'm there, I want to "see" everything, so I'm busy walking the heels off my shoes! But today I am daydreaming...
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.

Very nice balcony indeed. Can I join Meeps and you? I´ll bring a bottle of red wine...
Very nice balcony and the view from this side is also lovely.

Secreet Paris, the loveliest one!
Perfect, except we wouldn't all fit!
I happen to know where it is... but I doubt the the occupants are willing to sell!! Keep searching! :-)
V have you room for one more? x Suzi

lovely old wrought iron .. and ivy .. de-vine
I would take this one or any in this courtyard! Is that a little face I see peering out?
I would love to live there! It would be so wonderful to sit on the balcony reading a book with a glass of French wine to the side.
I think you're going to have to shore up (and enlarge) that balcony to accommodate all the folks who'll be wanting to join you, V (moi included)!

Ah.. splendid!
Ah yes!!! I love the name Meeps!!
This one might work, but it might be a bit cramped. How about one with an interior courtyard? Maybe on a side street in Rive Gauche?
Telle Juliette... et Roméo serait sous le balcon...
Gros bisous
Love ivy-covered anything! And you should be enjoying a glass of something sinful on your balcony.

Gorgeous, what a spot. Many a quiet wine (or coffee) could be enjoyed there.
