About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
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.

I love reflections ... when I go out Im always aware of puddles or reflections on windows it gives the image a three dimensional look. Well done !!! Have a great weekend and keep shooting =)
Gorgeous reflections, I smile with you.
Ha ha, coincidence, I also posted tiles !! not white and red but blue and grey yesterday and read about you today on French Essence
belle journée!
Ah, les petits carreaux "Vichy" !
What a fun mix! Reflections fascinate me.
Decorated like an ancient butchery! I like the cows on the wall!
Une grande envie d'aller m'attabler !
Très beaux reflets !
A bientôt Virginia

Red and white checks are alwasy so inviting. Great photo. I don't have a map handy - could you give me a general location for rue de la Butte-aux-Cailles??
Merci beaucoup pour le com sur mon blog :-))
Vos photos sont toutes très belles mais si je devais manger dans ce restaurant, moi qui n'aime pas la viande, j'aurais l'impression que toutes les vaches sacrifiées dans le monde ont les yeux fixés sur moi et me font des reproches. :-))
Bon wekeend !
Harriet, I emailed the directions
Marie, LOL!!!! Oui les vaches sont à regarder! :)
Wonderful Virginia! I always love the reflections if I shoot a work of art framed under glass!

This is La Butte Aveyronnaise, a resto/wine bar where Peter and I enjoyed a déjeuner on the terrace. Loved the red/white!
Mad me smile, too.
Is it a steakhouse or a dairy restaurant? I'm smiling!
"Sigh" - that was such a fun day...that one deserves to be blown up and printed on canvas!
And I love your new moniker: V de B...priceless!
All that red—this place has your name written all over it, V!
That chic little cafe makes me smile lots! I love it. Great photo as always. :)
I enjoy your Paris Rouge series. Is the café something to do with bulls?
Glorious, glorious pics....so glad I've found you....am about to move in Paris in 4 weeks. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow this scene sure does have your name written all over it, V!
You capture everything!!!
By the way i am so enjoying my print!!!
I understand the tablecloth and napkins, but the pig and the cows and windows have me a bit confused. Then again, it is late.
Just found your blog - fabulous - via the gorgeous Carla Coulson. I can see you are going to be paid a daily visit from me from now on - can't wait! Merci! Francesca
Une photo à plusieurs plans, comme un paysage urbain à décrypter. Bravo !
Gorgeous! Thank you!
Beautiful reflection.
Regards and best wishes
I started smiling when I saw this. :)
Vintage paris? ... Je L'aime!
