This little courtyard at le Marché des Enfants Rouges caught my attention. Even in January, Parisians will venture outside to enjoy lunch whenever possible!

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.

The Marché des Enfants Rouges is one of my favourite places. I would love to sit at this table with you and have lunch!
Although I just had my breakfast, this picture makes me wish to have a second one, outdoors … and in good company! :-)
lovely ...
Anne, you are my 700th Follower!!!! Merci for joining and I hope you will come back often.

Beautiful vignette for Veranda magazine. Casual yet elegant.

Looks like a good place to chill-out with friends. Here in Melaka, we have similar lovely places.
What a cozy little spot pour une pique-nique—avec toi, of course!
Beautiful image. Just lovely! Hard to imagine that it was in January.
Nice shot, Virginia ! I like the touches of colors on the table while the rest is very subdued. Very January in Paris...
Hope you saw the "red" photo I left for you in the second to most recent post over at the Magic Lantern... very red... enjoy :-)
Looks like a lovely place to have lunch!
Bonne appetite, V de B!
BTW, I figured out how to watermark my photos!
Incredible photo! It doesn't even look real! I love the setting and would have lunch here too no matter how cold it is!!
I also love yesterday's post with that gorgeous yellow lab cruising in a BMW!! Lucky dog!!
Thank you everyone. After having another look, I think this might just be one of my favorites.
Peter, we could have eaten there that day but had lots of ground to cover in the Marais as I recall.
Owen, I LOVED the rouge hairdresser's that you found for me. Lord knows I could use it while in Paris. With the wind and rain, my hair takes on a life of its on.
I say, we all gather in Paris and have a huge blog lunch together right here!

Lovely photograph, Virginia. It is an inviting location. If you can get a crowd willing, I'm there.
Une superbe capture... Oui moi aussi j'adore dès que possible prendre mon petit déjeuner dehors et en ce moment j'en profite... Gros bisous
The softness of the weathered wall adds such a wonderful background for the table and leaf-barren tree. I would love to dine there!
We spent a few weeks a year for several years just around the corner, in rue Turbigo. Sometimes we still come back for the soirs d'Été at the mairie du 3ème.
Lovely shot V!!! A bit too foggy for me to take lunch outside though!!!
