Cimetière de Passy, one of my most favorite resting places in Paris, has provided me with many interesting images. Today, a view through a mausoleum doorway. All the comforts of home.
Beautiful image! I love the finish on walls the look of the floors. That with the shock of the red cloth on the little altar and the painting is stunning!
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.

Leave it to you to find Paris Rouge in the most unlikely of spots! Glad that you have such a keen eye.
Beautiful (and rouge)!
A gorgeous photo! Love the red cloth!

Beautiful image Virginia, it's quite mind blowing to realize just how many hundreds of years people have been looking at this very scene.
what a quiet tranquil view...
It's elegantly sad.
Strange to say the least.
Wow—this is amazing, V!
Isn't this interesting! A comfortable place to sit and reflect at the family mausoleum. Beautiful!
