You may be surprised to know that this gorgeous clock hangs outside la poste Louvre and is open almost round the clock. How fitting.

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.

C'est un véritable bijou que cette horloge... tout comme votre capture photographique. Heureusement je ne suis pas en retard aujourd'hui pour l'admirer !...
Gros bisous
Beautiful. It is ornate isn't it. If I wIden my mantelpiece do you think it would fit?
Lovely picture Virginia.
Greetings, Joop
My EAGAN clock is different - here it's 7:01 am!
Happy Monday, V de B!
It would match Ella so beautifully if I could procure one just like it. {Do I hear Meeps putting up her paw for the same?} I love the way you've captured this against the background, V.
sweet ..
Love the ornate detailing on this clock!!! Beautiful!
I have had to get caught up on all your posts. I love that flower stand with the Happy written on the bags!
They are so creative in Paris!
I love the way you've composed this picture almost as much as I love this fabulous ornate clock!
Beautiful clock! I can't believe it hangs outside!
Stunning clock...wonderful photograph, Virginia.
Have a fabulous week.

Il est Quinze heure Vingt, madam.
Merci pour la temps!
I needed this to soothe my nerves, the soundtrack which is playing. It is time for me to relax now...
What a clock! And thanks for the info on la poste Louvre.
This reminds me that I need to comb my hair.
Virginia...though of you today as we toured the Opera Garnier. It was wonderful.
