Isn't it funny how the French renamed "Diet Coke" "Coca Light?" -- That always cracks up my students when I tell them. ;-) I noticed the Françoise Hardy and Jacques Dutronc duo on the blog today. Nice song. I saw their very handsome and talented son, Thomas, in a TV interview just last week. Have you heard his music? He is pretty good too, and a smart kid. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
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.

L'élégance de la paille dans le grand verre et la sobriété de la tasse de café. Un homme et une femme.

I'm all about the Coca Light, too. A can costs more than a beer or glass of wine in Paris!
Heh, heh...I "resemble" that remark...and Daryl fyi Phil-Baby likes his with lime aka: citron vert...grüne Zitrone...limão verde
Pas mal le coca light c'a l'air très bon!
I had forgotten about Coca Light. Love the way the white cup and saucer grab one's attention in this photo.
Looks like a nice spot for a cup of cocoa light or cafe or....
You even make a can of coke look great! You are unbelievable!!
Nice shot! :D
very simply inviting
That looks very much like the order that Aimee and I would have in Paris, or anywhere actually!
