Thanks to Mary who had already seen this film, I took this shot in the Tuileries Métro. I recently purchased it to share with the grandkids and watched it yesterday. No wonder it won awards! Do you know it?

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.

Not only did we saw "Hugo" last night in 3D, we also loved it, V. My 12-year old was mesmerized. In fact, even though I loved the Artist, I believe Hugo should have won "Best Movie" at the Academy Awards last week. Didn't Paris - and your favorite friend La Tour Eiffel - look even more beautiful in 3D? ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Le Voyage dans la lune by Georges Méliès. It was made in 1902. I used to be fascinated by that movie. In fact the last time I saw it was last year. He was a real film pioneer. You should see some of his other stuff too.
Wonderful film and a truly outstanding book -The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick - his illustrations are as beautiful as the film! If you loved the film don't miss the book! Francesca
Le cinéma muet marche fort en ce moment.
Hugo Cabret, inspired by georges Meliès..There's a way back to roots in movies those days!
Hi V - So glad you enjoyed it J.
Hmmm This is a subject for my son! He LOVES this movie! thanks for sharing!

My girls just spent yesterday afternoon watching Hugo as well! My eldest read the book a few weeks ago and has us all hooked.
HUGO .. we watched it on Saturday .. wonderful film
Have not seen the movie, but the bok is a keeper. You would not believe the artwork and perspective.... Genius!
On my way home and will call you later....
It's on my "must-see "list, V.
Lucky me. By now all of the other commenters have identified the movie (and the book that inspired it). I saw Hugo. It was charming, although I thought that this year was a year in which they should have considered awarding no Oscars. I didn't see a memorable movie this year.
No I don't know it but must find out about it now!
I had the same answer as James. I guess I don't watch enough new films. :) Perhaps it is time to check out Hugo.
