La vie en rose

If you've never strolled the small streets of Butte aux Cailles in the 13th arrondissement, you really should put it on your list. It is most charming and many of the homes are more like townhouses with small gated front entrances. The flowers and vines are climbing over the fences, gates and lanterns with wild abandon. I posted another lovely doorway here.

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.

Glorious flowers 'a Paris, V de B!
Your title made me think immediatement of the movie about Edith Piaf!
I need to get out of my comfort zone. I seem to stay in a tight circle of arrondissements 1-10.
My list of reasons to return to Paris is growing! Thanks V!
This area is DEFINITELY on my list for my next trip...just wish I knew when that might be!
my list of to do in Paris is tres long .. of course by the time I get there I will be too told to walk far
Thank you Virginia. Next time I won't miss Butte aux Cailles. La viie en rose vraiment. The list is growing rapidly.
PS. I've just posted Gaudi's Sagrada Familia.

A good place to get lost...
Gorgeous image Virginia! So pretty! I love to see roses growing with wild abandon ~ a la natural.
Lovely image, We did, not many tourists up there...
You already know the 13th is one of our favorites.
Back in the day (when even a poor kid like me could afford to live in St. Germain), the 13th was like the suburbs and no one ever went there. Now I'd be beyond thrilled to be able to live in a charming place like this.
Oh i would love to live somewhere like this. I love these townhouses with the gated entrances. Reminds me of the gorgeous brownstones!
Exquisite indeed! I want to live there!
I love this area of Paris... Great shot!
Let's buy a place here! Love the flowers (and the houses)!
Thanks Virgina!
