I see some of you with a puzzled look on your face. You're thinking this does not look like the Comédie Française, located at Place Colette. Well you are correct. It's undergoing some renovations and has found a new home over the Fountains Pol Bury between the columns of the Galeries d'Orléans. How nice of them to paint the temporary doors Paris ROUGE! As Peter and I headed through the gardens the first day I arrived, I spotted the doors, and noticed this nice man making his way along. I waited.

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.

Always a pleasure to visit and see Paris through your lens. I love your explanatory notes too.
Bon weekend
Miss Paris a lot but this summer it will be another recharging vacancy with atmosphere and photos. meanwhile, your blog is the perfect surrogate for me :D

I like all the lines here!
What a fabulous shot Virginia...love it.
It must be really extensive works, for it to even have a temporary home elsewhere...
Interesting pic!
God bless you!

Timing is everything and yours was perfect, V de B!
Almost a little like hunting....waiting for a perfect shot!
Beautiful shot of Paris again Virginia.
I m wondering if there is any red corner you have not discovered and photographed.

Hello Virginia
Thats a very nice shot.... i like the colors and composition very much.......
I have seen more nice work on this blog....so soon i will be back.
Greetings, Joop
and thanks for your comment.
A great red; I'm off to check out the renovations! Bon week-end~
Love the contrast of the gates and the renovations. How wonderful that they have tried to "please the eyes" during the repairs.
I love the red, the gold and the blue(?)/grey(?) and white stripes!
Ahhh just had my red fix from Paris - Merci beaucoup. F x
What great composition in this image Virginia, the colours and lines and then the man walking casually by at just the right moment. The splash of red is the icing on the cake.
fabulous
