This garden is always my first place to come when in Paris. The small playground is installed there under the trees: kids can swing with a view. My son loved it so much, couldn't leave and me too. Thank you V. Natalie
It seems that it is next to impossible to get a bad shot of this magnificent church! Good choice, Virginia - this is a perspective of it not usually shown. «Louis» shudders when he thinks of how Le Corbusier proposed tearing Nôtre-Dame down in his urban renewal plan for Paris. But Le Corbusier was both a Marxist and an atheist, so he would not have had the regard for this treasure that most others have....
I do love this presentation of Notre Dame with its personal charm. One can almost forget the number of tourists taking photos of themselves on the other side.

I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful 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". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different 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. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. 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.
