at the Place des Vosges, you discover wonderful little courtyards with great old bikes leaning against great old walls!

About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
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.

Ce qui apporte un charme fou... Tout comme cette photo.
Gros bisous
Nosey Parker! It has its rewards, I see.
Simple, but beautiful!
Place des Vosges, tu risques aussi de croiser des gens célèbres.
Oh.. very nice, I think this bike could tell an interesting story.
I'm tempted to procure a charming old bike to lean against my wall ... but it wouldn't be the same, would it. Lovely, V. Hugs to you and Meepsie.
Very good street shot.... i like this Virginia.
Greetings, Joop
So you're a door pusher, V de B?!
a favorite subject of mine .. Phill got a great bike shot ...
Alain, the only famous person I've come across is Peter! :) And he's the one that taught me to push doors.
V
Love just the slight hint of color in this shot.
Be careful...I don't want to have to take up a collection to come and bail you out!
It is fun to find the hidden corners.....
You pushy broad, you!!!
Great image! This would make a lovely set of cards...one of my favorite.
Such a charming scene, Virginia. You take this one, I'll take the man's bike around the corner, and we'll go for a ride around the city.
The bike looks nearly as old as the wall.
I love the rusted colours here! Perfect photo!!!
I had a feeling you were an inveterate door-pusher, V! And look what you got for your chutzpah—what a great shot this is.
What a great find! Keep pushing those doors.
Love this shot Virginia....rust, gris, Parisian vert....just beautiful. I'm sure this bicycle has lots of stories to tell!
'Shabby chic' perfection!!
